FWIW I ran into this today and damn, that’s some _bizarre_ behavior if I've ever seen one.

This doesn’t work:

```css
::highlight(mark-green) {
 --color: var(--color-green);
 background-color: color-mix(in oklab, canvas, var(--color));
}
```

This also doesn't work:

```css
::highlight(mark-green) {
 --color: var(--color-green);
}

::highlight(mark-green) {
 background-color: color-mix(in oklab, canvas, var(--color));
}
```

This does work (`--color-green` is defined on `:root`):

```css
::highlight(mark-green) {
 background-color: color-mix(in oklab, canvas, var(--color-green));
}
```

Can we please fix this? This is _really_ bad lol.
