+variables and colors available
+------------------------------
 
+there are some variables you may want to use to keep your site's styling
+consistent and you can view them in the `:root` section of `base.css` and any
+module you use. 
+
+the variables defined in `base.css` are:
+
+	--fg
+	--bg
+
+	--light
+	--dark
+
+you should prefer to use `--fg` and `--bg` over `--light` and `--dark` as that
+will take of dark mode switching for you.
+
+every colorscheme will have a standard set of variables, which can be viewed at
+`https://styles.alv.cx/colors.txt` .
+
+some modules may have variables which can be adjusted also, such as `rainbow.css`.
