let’s consider these things:

  • if a browser doesn’t understand a value for a css rule, it will ignore the rule.
  • so if a browser doesn’t support css variables it will ignore the rule for the background
  • if it ignores the rule, it will see if above it there is an other rule that can be used instead of it
  • so if we add a background rule just above the existing one the browser will use that one, if it can
  • it will use it if the new background rule do not use css variables.
