CCS. Use a custom CSS Variable

 

Use a custom CSS Variable

After you create your variable, you can assign its value to other CSS properties by referencing the name you gave it.

background: var(--penguin-skin);

This will change the background of whatever element you are targeting to gray because that is the value of the penguin-skin variable. Note that styles will not be applied unless the variable names are an exact match.

 

 

TEST

 

Apply the --penguin-skin variable to the background property of the penguin-top, penguin-bottom, right-hand and left-hand classes.
