All good if you only have one property
Try this one:
@brand_color: #4D926F;
h2 { color: @brand_color; display: inline; }
#header { color: @brand_color; display: block; }
The only way to not repeat the color using plain CSS is to write it as:
h2 { display: inline; }
#header { display: block; }
h2,#header { color: #4D926F; }
Of course all is still good if you only have 3 lines of CSS. And of
course with LESS you can still just write plain CSS.
The lack of syntax for refactoring is a real problem in CSS.
