The new theming system exposes the equivalents of the legacy Canvas `ic-brand-*` variables under `semantics.color.institutional.*`. Overriding these has the same broad effect as Canvas's [Theme Editor](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-theme-for-an-account-using-the-Theme-Editor/ta-p/242) — the Button family, `SideNavBar`, `Link`, `Billboard`, and several other components consume them automatically.

> **Theme support for branding:**

610+
> - **`canvas` (legacy)** — branding overrides are supported.
611+
> - **`light`** — branding support is coming soon.
612+
> - **`dark`** — branding support is coming soon.
613+
> - **High-contrast themes** — branding will **never** be available, by design. These themes maintain WCAG-compliant color contrast at all times, so user-customizable colors cannot override them.
