Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] Fallback lists for color properties from Chris Lilley via GitHub on 2018-04-27 (public-css-archive@w3.org from April 2018)

Note too (developing your suggested syntax)

```
.bg {
  background-color: var(--customBackground), hotpink;
}

body {
  --customBackground: "Hello World"; /* not a valid color or background */
}
```
the fallback solution you suggest would not help. It would work when the variable is not set (as does the solution mentioned by @jonjohnjohnson ) but does not help when it **has** been set, but to an invalid value. The fallback is discarded by that point.
