Fallbacks in ''var()'' references {#fallbacks-in-var-references}
----------------------------------------------------------------

References to registered custom properties using the ''var()'' function may
provide a fallback. However, the fallback value must match the
[[#supported-syntax-strings|registered syntax]] of the custom property being
referenced, otherwise the declaration is
<a spec=css-variables>invalid at computed-value time</a>.

Note: This applies regardless of whether or not the fallback is being used.
