Thanks for your help! The PR was merged, my instance was updated, and I can import styelsheets into color\_definitions.scss, but this issue has resurfaced:

> The stylesheets now correctly load, however, [the SCSS color variables](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/common/foundation/colors.scss#L1-L10) don’t appear to inherit my theme’s color scheme. e.g. `$secondary` yields its default value, `#ffffff` , instead of `#282c34` . Is this perhaps another regression from [e8b8272](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e8b82724fd303424f042b2b0d0b98a463676659d)?

This time, this affects variables in `color_definitions.scss` as well.
