Path of CSS files in Symfony2 for Twig rendering

Question

Problem

I need to generate CSS file while page is rendering (custom colors for each user). In order to achieve that I made an action to render the file and and put the route as a reference, like that:

public function styleAction()
{
    $backgroundColor = $this->getUser()->getCompany()->getBackgroundColor();
    if(!$backgroundColor || $backgroundColor =="")
        $backgroundColor = '#b5dea2';

    $response = new Response();
    $response->setContent($this->render('*WHAT_TO_PUT_HERE*:style.css.twig',array('backgroundColor' => $backgroundColor)));
    $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/css');
    return $response;
}

Route:

css_route:
    path: /css/mainStyle
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeMainBundle:Default:style }

Question: What to write in place of "WHAT_TO_PUT_HERE" in order to access to the file located under /web/css/style.css.twig.

same as other twig redered by a controller (no difference in this case) so Resources\views\Default\style.css.twig. Hope this help — Matteo

Put the file in your Bundles Resources\views directory.

Yeah but this not an appropriate way to do it. Is there any chance to access them without moving the files?

That's is the best practice way. All resources should live in bundles. templates and public js and css files.
