Variables

When using a property with a semantic value like c-primary, Maple generates a variable fallback chain depending on the type of the property.

This page uses primary as the example token. In real utilities it can be any semantic name (secondary, success, border etc.) or a native CSS color name (red, blue, green etc.).

The chain is evaluated from left to right, using the first defined variable and falling through to the next variable or default.

Value Resolution

The property first resolves the semantic color token itself.
