Color Token Converter
---------------------
This script converts color tokens from the previous draft format to the current draft format.
USAGE:
node updateColorTokens.js <input.json> <output.json>
- <input.json>: Path to the input JSON file containing tokens in the old format.
- <output.json>: Path to the output JSON file to write the converted tokens.
Only tokens with "$type": "color" are converted. All other tokens are ignored.
Example:
node updateColorTokens.js tokens.json tokens-new.json
