Laravel using one place to define colors for controllers and views

Hello im currently trying to build a laravel page.

i am building up data and colors for my js/jquery charts in the controller. but im also using the same colors for my general app layout in the css file.

now where would i want to set colors to be able to change a certain color for all charts in my controllers and the layout in my css file?

Let's say i have a certain color for "bad" #ff0000, i want to change it to a diffrent tone of red like #ce2500 and i don't want to change every occurence.

you get the idea i guess?

or am i thinking / doing something completely wrong here?

EDIT what i have done so far:

in the CSS file i defined my colors for my app to stay in a certain style. custom.css.php:

--color_bad: #ff0000;
--color_good: #00a6eb;
--color_text: #000000;
--color_bg1: #e6e6e6;
--color_bg2: #b3b3b3;
--color_border: #4d4d4d;
--color_caption: #ffffff;

I also did this in the config for the controllers:

    // COLORS

'color_bad' => '#ff0000', 
'color_good' => '#00a6eb', 
'color_text' => '#000000', 
'color_bg1' => '#e6e6e6',
'color_bg2' => '#b3b3b3', 
'color_border' => '#4d4d4d',    
'color_caption' => '#ffffff',

im using the css variables through the css files and config('colors.color_bad') for the controllers

so i brought it down to 2 points in the app where colors are defined and i wanted to break it furhter down to only one place

For most constants used globally across the application, storing them in config files is sufficient. It is also pretty simple

Create a new file in the app/config directory. Let's call it constants.php

In there you have to return an array of config values.

return [
    'langs' => [
        'es' => 'www.domain.es',
        'en' => 'www.domain.us'
        // etc
    ]
];

And you can access them as follows

Config::get('constants.langs');

// or if you want a specific one Config::get('constants.langs.en'); And you can set them as well

Config::set('foo.bar', 'test');
