Override global Sass variables from theme

Continuing the discussion from Cleaning up our color palette :artist_palette::

Themes already have the ability to define sass variables:

However, from personal testing, these seem to be local to the theme’s stylesheets, and won’t globally override a variable.

If they did it would prove incredibly useful for theme development, as it would allow the theme to specify exactly what colour should be used as $primary-medium, $tertiary-low and so on - rather than have it automagically calculated off of the colour scheme.

Perhaps there should be a scope option, something like this:

"fields": {
  "primary-medium": {
    "value": "#012345",
    "type": "color",
    "scope": "global"
  }
}

Maybe, but what happens if multiple theme components are fighting for such a change, who wins?

As a wise man once said:

I can’t see much use for this beyond colours, and I can’t ever see a user wanting to enable two themes both of which change the color scheme.

Perhaps though this makes more sense as an extension to color_schemes, which can only be enabled individually:

"color_schemes": {
  "Extened Scheme": {
    "primary": "000",
    "primary-medium": "666",
    "primary-low": "aaaaaa"
  }
}

Realmente necesito esto.

Tengo un color primario predeterminado: 4d238c. El problema es que el color generado para $primary-secondary (#a179de) no cumple con las directrices de accesibilidad, por lo que necesito hacerlo más oscuro.

Parece laborioso cambiarlo en todos los lugares donde el sistema utiliza el color secundario cuando podría simplemente sobrescribir $primary-secondary con: red;
