When you create a variable, it is available for you to use inside the element in which you create it. It also is available for any elements nested within it. This effect is known as cascading. Because of cascading, CSS variables are often defined in the :root element. -:root is a pseudo-class selector that matches the root element of the document, usually the element. By creating your variables in :root, they will be available globally and can be accessed from any other selector later in the style sheet. +:root is a pseudo-class selector that matches the root element of the document, usually the html element. By creating your variables in :root, they will be available globally and can be accessed from any other selector later in the style sheet.
