Identifying color properties from CSS and combine selectors?

Question

I'm looking for a tool that helps me to identify CSS color properties (color, background-color, border-color etc.) and combined the selectors instead of repeating the color property over and over.

so a code like this:

body {color: #656565;}        
a {color: #c0c0c0;}        
h1 {color: #000;}

.norm-element {color: #656565;}    
.accent-element {color: #c0c0c0;}

would end:

body, .norm-element {
    color: #656565;
}

a, .accent-element {
    color: #c0c0c0;
}

h1 { color: #000; }

I'm not sure there's a tool that does exactly what you want, but I have had some success using clean-css to optimize and merge rules github.com/jakubpawlowicz/clean-css — NeilWkz

You could use css variables. Resources here and browser support which is pretty good here. So from your example

body {color: #656565;}        
a {color: #c0c0c0;}        
h1 {color: #000;}
.norm-element {color: #656565;}    
.accent-element {color: #c0c0c0;}

becomes

  :root {
    --main-bg-color: #656565;
  }
  body, .norm-element {
    color: var(main-bg-color);
   }
