When you need a special @property instead of CSS variable
Custom Properties and CSS variables are often used interchangeably when describing the fillers in CSS, although these are different but related concepts. They are commonly used as fillers for values we plan to use to avoid repetition of the same value and easy to update this value in all places, if necessary.
We can register special properties in CSS using @property. The most common example shows how @property can animate the colors of the gradient that we cannot do otherwise because the CSS variable is recognized as a string, and we need a numerical format that can interpolate between two numerical values. 🚀
