+// These colors are *temporarily* defined as SASS variables. They should be
+// replaced with CSS variables once CSS Relative Colors support is *widely
+// available*. We define these as SASS variables so that they can be used with
+// the `sass:color` package to derive new colors. If a color is not going to be
+// used to derive a new color, then CSS vars should be used instead.
