Variables in CSS, is that possible? [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way to make CSS dynamic? I want to set a variable in the CSS file. Something like this:

var baseColour = #000; 
body{
  background-colour: baseColour;
}

I want to let the user choose a colour. Then I want to set the variable in CSS to the user input with JavaScript.

Is that possible? Or at least that one with the variable?

as a choice of user, you might have to use cookies to keep the setup through page visited — G-Cyrillus

No CSS can't do this by default, you may want to use SASS for something like this.
