CSS Custom Property Scope Preview
Preview how CSS custom properties inherit from root, section, and component scopes.
What the CSS Custom Property Scope does
Preview how CSS custom properties inherit from root, section, and component scopes. A card inside a themed section can override --accent locally while the rest of the page keeps the root value Adjust the controls and the preview updates immediately, so you can dial in exactly what you want and copy the result straight into your project — no build step and no account.
One thing to keep in mind: Custom properties inherit by default, so unexpected parent scopes can change deeply nested components.
Private and in your browser
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, so the tool stays fast and works offline, and the copy and download buttons always use the current result shown in the output panel.
