docs-bug(material): Documentation on how to use M3 styles is completely inadequate

Documentation Feedback

There are no examples showing how to use the overrides to generate appropriate colour schemes. As an example I was trying to mimic the -mat-toolbar azure/blue colour scheme in the angular material 19 toolbar but was unable to figure it out.

The documentation tells me what styles exist but provides no examples on how to achieve useful results.

In comparison the M2 themes which had default color decisions made this far easier for beginners.

Its not clear whether this is a problem that impacts other component documentation so this could be the tip of a much larger iceberg.
