Some Colors are not included in Type MD3Colors about react-native-paper HOT 2 OPEN

@lukewalczak any thoughts on this ?

from react-native-paper.

I noticed this problem too. And I found this article https://material.io/blog/tone-based-surface-color-m3

Surface Container Lowest is a new role
Surface at elevation +1 becomes Surface Container Low
Surface at elevation +2 becomes Surface Container
Surface at elevation +3 becomes Surface Container High
Surface at elevation +4 and +5 are being deprecated, it is recommended to use Surface Container Highest by default as a replacement. As an alternative Surface Container High, or Surface Dim can be used depending on the specific use case.
Surface Variant becomes Surface Container Highest

So I set my theme like this:

/**
 * copy from Material Theme Builder
 * @see https://material-foundation.github.io/material-theme-builder/
 */
export const lightColors = {
  primary: '#7b5800',
  // ...
  surfaceContainerHighest: '#e9e1d9',
  surfaceContainerHigh: '#efe7de',
  surfaceContainer: '#f5ede4',
  surfaceContainerLow: '#fbf2e9',
  surfaceContainerLowest: '#ffffff',

  // manually added 
  elevation: {
    ...MD3LightTheme.colors.elevation,
    level1: '#fbf2e9', // surfaceContainerLow
    level2: '#f5ede4', // surfaceContainer
    level3: '#efe7de', // surfaceContainerHigh
    level4: '#e9e1d9', // surfaceContainerHighest
    level5: '#e9e1d9', // surfaceContainerHighest
  },
}

This has been confirmed to work correctly with the background color of the Card in elevated mode.
