A new CSS variable --color-placeholder is introduced in the variables.css file, which is then used to replace existing color references in the editor.css file. The changes aim to improve color consistency and styling across the editor's placeholder and task list elements.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit's ode to color's grace,
Placeholders now with softer trace,
CSS variables dance and glow,
Styling magic starts to flow!
Editor's palette, crisp and bright,
A chromatic rabbit's delight! 🎨

2-2: Well-structured implementation of the placeholder color variable!

The new --color-placeholder variable is well-designed:

• Uses semantic naming
• Leverages existing color system
• 50% opacity ensures visibility against various backgrounds

packages/editor/src/styles/editor.css (3)

28-28: LGTM! Consistent use of placeholder color for empty editor.

The implementation correctly uses the new --color-placeholder variable for the first-line placeholder.

---

37-37: LGTM! Consistent styling for empty line placeholders.

The implementation maintains visual consistency by using the same placeholder color for all empty lines.

---

195-195: LGTM! Appropriate use of placeholder color for completed tasks.

Using the placeholder color for checked items effectively indicates their completed state while maintaining consistency with other muted elements.
