Is there a way to Declare a color value at the beginning of my CSS file in a variable and then use that variable name when a color is called for in the code.
Not with pure CSS. You can, however, create your own color-classes since elements can have tons of classes at once (but only one ID, since it's unique).
Couple of ways to handle it though:'

Chris, I swear I will remember this time to define the colors in a comments block like you suggested.
Have a nice weekend.
