I'm not against replacing the mechanism - It's just that the original task description doesn't specify why that would be good (i.e., what the benefit would be).
That's clear from the discussion now, but should generally be included in the ticket description - the "describe "what", not "how"" principle.

sirocyl added a comment to T15739: Replace celerity postprocessors with real css variables.

A big benefit of using client-side variables in CSS, is that one can use the browser's prefers-color-scheme media query to select light or dark mode based on the user's browser or system setting, automatically, and that the transition from light to dark mode, or to other accent/highlight color schemes, requires no reload.

bekay added a comment to T15739: Replace celerity postprocessors with real css variables.

Well, I see a tremendous critism and scepticism concerning modern client side techniques here. The world of frontend tooling has changed tremendously in the last 5 years. And I understand concerns, but nobody has to write JavaScript for certain browsers anymore. Javelin for example tries to solve so many problems that Babel solves with one config entry. But that's okay and I like the architecture here and know we can't change everything at once.

The overwriting of variables with media queries could be configured inside the theming class. So possible breakpoints can be part of a theming API.

@avivey CSS vars are a vital part of modern modularized theming. They are versatile, can be overwritten with media queries or per class/element basis. They are editable in browser dev tools. If you would ask me: this step is pretty important.
