Using a variable in stylesheet

I have a multi-tenancy Rails app, where each tenant has an base_color attribute which contains a hex color code. I have a variables.css.scss file which contains Sass variables which are used in several other stylesheet files.

Now I want to use the tenant.base_color variable to set the Sass variable $base_color in variables.css.scss, so the base color of the app changes according to the logged in tenant. Is this at all possible?

I tried to rename the file to variables.css.scss.erb and then use this:

$base-color: <%= current_tenant.base_color %>;

But this doesn't work, I get an File to import not found or unreadable: variables.css.scss. error.

It's not possible. css.scss files are compiled to css once (when you run bundle exec rake assets:precompile), so you can't make them dependant on some dynamic values. I guess you'd have to use inline css instead.
