Color Preview does not support CSS custom properties. Color Preview is a line interpreter and not a CSS processor. A line is identified as having a particular token (color, hsl, etc...) then further analysis is done to interpreter the values to calculate the color. Color Preview does not know how to calculate a color with values of var(--foo-baz-bar).
