The VLE software Moodle actually does that in its templating system so 
that the user can define colours through the database. It's useful if 
you're making something from scratch, but if you're maintaining someone 
else's code and they've not named their variables very well [1] then it 
can end up being easier just to remove them and hard code in the CSS 
instead.

[1] e.g.

variables like:

$tricycleOrange = '#F33500'
$blue = '#346FB7'

;)

So I want the thing that used to be blue to be pink in the stylesheet. I 
either have to store the code for pink in a variable called "blue" or 
just rip out the variables to preserve sanity.

Better variable names:

$primary
$secondary
$primary_background
$secondary_background

etc.
