I agree with the naysayers here: * `background-color`, being non-inheritable, is really unsuited for these kinds of things; you're limited solely to use-cases where you're reusing the background color on the element itself, not on any children * background colors are often communicated via images, not `background-color`, which doesn't work at all here * variables do exactly the same job, only better I get that "just use variables" doesn't work very well if you're trying to do a hands-off refactor over the top of some existing styles, but that's not something we usually optimize for in CSS. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/364#issuecomment-237319971 using your GitHub account
