CSS Custom Properties (variables) let you store a value in one place and reuse it throughout a stylesheet with the var() function. By defining a value on a broad scope like the root, you can apply the same value to any number of rules, e.g., color: var(--primary-color); or background-color: var(--primary-color); This keeps styling consistent and makes updates easy—change the single variable and every place that references it updates automatically. You can also override the variable in specific scopes or within media queries to adapt themes without rewriting multiple rules. Media queries control when styles apply, not how values are reused; inheritance passes values from a parent to its children but doesn’t provide a centralized reuse mechanism; the user agent stylesheet is just the browser’s default styles.
