Variables in CSS?

I would like to be able to define a colour value and assign it to a variable, for example:

colour1 = #ccc999

Then, in the theme stylesheet, I could use the VAR instead of defining colours, for example:
td#centrecolumn th {
background-color: [colour1];
}

AFAIK this can't be done using CSS, but I wondered if anyone knows of an application that would let me build stylesheets like that then export the CCS file?

No, there is no interpreteer vor variables in css files afaik. What you could do tho is turn it around:

instead of making the css variable, make the class call variable: < td class="centercolumn<{variable}>">
and define in your css file the
td#centercolumOne {}
td#centercolumTwo {}
td#centercolumThree {}
td#centercolumFour {}
td#centercolumFive {}
etc.

That way you can have variable styles, depending on a var you give for this
