When developing take a close look to the FormSelect component. It is a form element as well, the tokens and styling approach should be similar.

2.4 - Tokens definition

Considerations:

• ❗ Take a close look to the FormSelect component. It is a form element as well, the tokens and styling approach should be similar.
• Add the tokens to src/design-system/tokens.json
• Define all styles in src/design-system/forminput.css
• Add import to the new CSS file in src/design-system/index.css

Possible tokens:

• color-text-formcontrol
• color-text-formcontrol-filled
• color-text-formcontrol-error
• color-text-formcontrol-floating-filled
• color-text-formcontrol_label
• color-text-formcontrol_label-filled

• etc.

Follow the naming pattern
