I can use Code A to define a color in Color.kt file which is generated by Android Studio wizard automatically, it's OK.

I hope to define a color based MaterialTheme.colors, but Code B return the following error.

@Composable invocations can only happen from the context of a @Composable function

At present, I have to use Code C, it's not very good, is there a better way?

Code A

val IconColor = Color(0xFF2E7D32)

Code B

val IconColor = MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.76f)

Code C

@Composable
fun IconColor(): Color {
    return MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.76f)
}

You are getting that because MaterialTheme.colors the getter of this field is using @compsable scope, So I have found 2 ways you can declare your variable in Colors.kt in the way you want.

1:

val IconColor1: @Composable () -> Color = { MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.76f) }

2:

val IconColor2: Color @Composable get() = MaterialTheme.colors.onSurface.copy(alpha = 0.76f)

And I hope this was helpful

Studio has the source for the material colours. Just Ctrl+Click on the name of the class/color and you're there.
