Does CSS contain any way to approximate what the following psudo-example is
trying to accomplish?

..ChangeTheSomeClassColorInOnePlace
{
color: #C01091;
}

..SomeClass_One
{
color: ChangeTheColorInOnePlace.color;
}

..SomeClass_Two
{
color: ChangeTheColorInOnePlace.color;
}

I'm trying to avoid having to do this:

..SomeClass_One
{
color: #C01091;
}

..SomeClass_Two
{
color: #C01091;
}

..SomeClass_Three
{
color: #C01091;
}

....etc

There are many iterations of "someclass" within the sheet, changing the
common color among them all becomes a tedious cut & paste exercise I would
like to avoid if it can be avoided. The elements that are assigned to these
classes are not nested under a common parent within the html (other than
html/body, which requires a color attribute other than #C01091). How is
this commonly accomplished? Thanks.

.SomeClass_One, .SomeClass_Two, .SomeClass_n
{ color: #c01091 }

.SomeClass_One
{ /*set some other attributes */ }

.SomeClass_Two
{ /*set some other attributes */ }
....

Could the following also be somehow realized through CSS?

..PaintBucketA
{
color: #111111;
background: #FFFFFF;
}

..PaintBucketB
{
color: #761D20;
background: #00000;
}

..SomeClass_One, .SomeClass_Two, .SomeClass_n
{
border: solid 2px PaintBucketA.background;
color: PaintBucketA.color;
}

..SomeClass_Two
{
border-top: solid 2px PaintBucketB.background;
}

..SomeClass_Three
{
background: PaintBucketB.color;
}

and so on

[Color variables/references]

No (and probably never will), use a preprocessor.
