CSS "variables"???

Hello people

I know it can be done with PHP but here goes anyway :

.dude {color: #F43435 };

.dude2 {background-color: ******};

Is there a way to refer to .dude.color ???
Something like :

.dude2 {
background-color: .dude.color;
}

What I am trying to get is the functionality of defining a "constant" colour which then can apply to the multitude of other CSS classes I have...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Angelos

no you can't do that,

but you can group the style for the diffrent element like this:
by seperating them by comma ,

h1, p, .class1, .class2, #id1 {
background:#454545;
}

That will not work since what is expected as a value there is either the color name, the hex value, or the RGB code.
