example:

body {
    background-color: {{ body.color }};
    width: {{ body.width }};
}

You could also include your CSS file using template tags. That would demand a style tag but considering the dynamic approach here it's really not much of an issue:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
        {% include 'templates/mytemplate.css' %}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body></body>
</html>

The template could then be what you described above. Then the CSS template would have access to whatever data your base template has access too.

Depending on your use case you might also do something with blocks but I'm not sure that is worth exploring at this point.

Just off the top of my head:

  • Create a Model to store the CSS values you want
  • Register the Model to show up in the Admin Screens
  • In your views, return these values as a dictionary
  • In the template, use the values as you suggested
