 # @fluentui/react-theme
 
-**React Theme components for [Fluent UI React](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui)**
+**React Theme for [Fluent UI React](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui)**
 
-These are not production-ready components and **should never be used in product**. This space is useful for testing new components whose APIs might change before final release.
+## Usage
+
+Import a theme and tokens:
+
+```jsx
+import { webLightTheme, tokens } from '@fluentui/react-components';
+```
+
+Pass the theme to the `FluentProvider`:
+
+```jsx
+<FluentProvider theme={webLightTheme}>
+  <App />
+</FluentProvider>
+```
+
+Use the `tokens` in your styles:
+
+```jsx
+const useStyles = makeStyles({
+  root: {
+    color: tokens.colorNeutralForeground1,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Using a custom brand ramp
+
+To use a theme based on a custom brand ramp, use the `createXXXTheme` function:
+
+```jsx
+import { createWebLightTheme } from '@fluentui/react-components';
+
+const customBrandRamp: BrandVariants = {
+  10: `#2b2b40`,
+  // ...
+  160: `#e8ebfa`,
+};
+
+const customTheme = createWebLightTheme(customBrandRamp);
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Updating colors in the theme
+
+The color tokens are generated by token pipeline. Do not edit colors directly. Instead, update the token pipeline first and once the changes are merged there, run:
+
+```sh
+yarn token-pipeline
+```
+
+### Adding new color tokens
+
+To add a new color token, besides updating the token pipeline, you also need to update corresponding typings and the `tokens` object in `src/tokens.ts`.
+
+### Updating other tokens
+
+To update any tokens not related to colors, update the values directly in this package.
