# CSS variables
|
|
|
|
Several [CSS variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties) are provided by the [`Theme`](?path=/docs/components-theme--default) component. All other components in this library use these variables for styling basic colours and typography. You can (and probably _should_) use them in you own code, too.
|
|
|
|
> In the future, client's may be allowed to override our CSS variables to match their own house styles. So when using CSS variables, it's a good idea to set a [fallback value](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties#custom_property_fallback_values), in case a client misconfigures a variable override.
|
|
>
|
|
> **Note:** CSS variables do not currently affect [ai2svelte](https://github.com/reuters-graphics/ai2svelte/) graphics, so you should continue to make sure your colours match the theme of your page directly in Adobe Illustrator for those graphics.

```svelte

<p>My custom text</p>

|
|
|
<style lang="scss">

p {
|
|
color: var(--theme-colour-text-primary, #333);
|
|
font-family: var(--theme-font-family-body, Knowledge);
|
|
}

</style>
