Is there a way to use css variables for the colors?

I created color variables in the stylesheet and tried to call them in the project properties box. I've tried var(--testColor); and var(--testColor) but everytime I input it into the box and click apply, it just reverts back to the color it was before.

I'm thinking that it's only expecting the hex code for a color but I thought I read about being able to use css variables when choosing colors.

Please advise.
