Attempting to declare SASS color variable and getting 'Invalid CSS'?
<p>I am attempting to use SASS for the first time on my next project (Pomodoro Clock). To get started I just wanted to declare my color variables and set a background color. When I try to apply the styling I get this error: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Invalid CSS after "...(35, 61, 77, 1)": expected expression (e.g. 1px,
  bold), was ";"</p>
</blockquote>

<p>My code is below.</p>

<pre><code>/*All variables declared*/
$japaneseIndigo: rgba(35, 61, 77, 1);
$babyPowder: rgba(255, 255, 250, 1);
$princetonOrange: rgba(254, 127, 45, 1);
$yankeesBlue: rgba(28, 48, 65, 1);
$mediumSpringGreen: rgba(24, 242, 178, 1);
/*Apply styles*/
*{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box; 
}
body {
  background-color: $yankeesBlue;
}
</code></pre>

<p>I know this is a super simple question that shouldn't need this forum to answer but I have sincerely Googled and asked for help elsewhere without any luck. Thank you for your help.</p>
