CSS have #define like C language?

I would like to define a color in a CSS file and use the definition in many
other HTML files such as (using C syntax):

#define MYCOLOR #668834
<p><font color=MYCOLOR>Testing</font></p>

Thus when I want to change the color globally, there is just the one place
where it needs to be changed.

Does CSS have anything like this?

This is not how CSS should be used.

I am not 100% on CSS but HTML should not use the FONT tag.

You set the colours in CSS for different elements i.e. font colour for main
body section and font colour for footer section and font colour for
navigation section etc.

When you then change the colours in CSS they will change globally as
mentioned.

Do a Google for CSS tutorials. Plenty of reading to be done.

Hi Jamie is correct.

To change the font color in css just use the color statement. From what
you have posted it really does not matter if you are creating in just
HTML or VS applying css to web statements is the same.

In the header of the page insert the link to the css file.

I always use an external file as if you need the same classes on
different pages the browser will only download the css file once. If
all the statements are in line then the browser needs to download then
eachtime and uses more bandwidth.

<link href="dennis.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Create the file dennis.css

Contents of file "dennis.css"
x-----------------------------x

..MyColor {
color: #668834;
}

x-----------------------------x

using the class

<p class="MyColor">Testing</p>
