If you're using abstract color names because you want to support multiple themes in your project, there's a good chance you also want to use CSS variables to define your colors.

The best way to do this is to define your CSS variables as just the color _channels_, without including the actual color function:
The best way to do this is to define your CSS variables as just the color _channels_ separated by spaces, without including the actual color function *or* alpha value:

--color-secondary: 220 208 192;
--color-secondary: 34deg 29% 81%;

}
```

Then define your colors in your configuration file as _functions_, and apply the `opacityValue` if it's defined:
Then define your colors using either the `rgb` or `hsl` helpers which wraps the variable with the color function and applies an alpha channel if needed:

```js tailwind.config.js
function withOpacityValue(variable) {
return ({ opacityValue }) => {
if (opacityValue === undefined) {
return `rgb(var(${variable}))`
}
return `rgb(var(${variable}) / ${opacityValue})`
}
}

module.exports = {
theme: {
colors: {
primary: withOpacityValue('--color-primary'),
secondary: withOpacityValue('--color-secondary'),
colors: ({ rgb, hsl }) => {
primary: rgb('--color-primary'),
secondary: hsl('--color-secondary'),
// ...
}
}
