CSS Variable Generator
Generate CSS custom properties from a color palette. Copy the code block and use it in your project.
How it works
- ● Name your palette (used as a prefix in the variable names).
- ● Add up to 10 colors with custom names and HEX values.
- ● The CSS code block updates live as you edit.
- ● Copy and paste into your stylesheet to use var(--name-color).
Why CSS variables?
CSS custom properties centralize your design tokens, making it easy to maintain consistent colors across a project. Change one value and every reference updates. They support theming, dark mode, and responsive design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are CSS variables?
CSS variables (also called custom properties) are reusable values defined with the -- prefix. They are declared on a selector (typically :root) and referenced with the var() function. They enable consistent theming and easy style maintenance.
How do I use the generated code?
Copy the generated CSS code block and paste it into your stylesheet or a style tag. Use var(--your-variable-name) throughout your CSS to reference these colors. This keeps your design tokens centralized and easy to update.
Can I add or remove colors?
Yes. Use the Add Color button to include more color entries (up to 10), or click the X button next to any row to remove it. The CSS code updates in real time as you modify the palette.
