## README

# Root Variables

Minimal, future-proof native CSS variables (CSS Custom Properties) framework in `:root` designed with the following features:

- Minimal variables defined: colors, typography, and layout helpers.
- HSL colors: all colors are HSL-based for more straightforward manipulation (before we have [CSS Color Module Level 4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color/) in hands).
- Easy to migrate: no *magic* variables for flex, or grid layout. You can continue to use your existing layout system.
- Flexible to extend: all variables can be overridden later in `:root` or in specific scopes.
- Dark mode ready: extend your existing app with `prefers-color-scheme: dark`, tweak colors with HSL, and you're ready to go.
