Plus trying to keep track of unifying variables can become overwhelming. This is where CSS preprocessors can come to the rescue. One of those CSS Preprocessors is LESS.

Additional Notes:
function create_stylesheet_less($tag){
return preg_replace("/='stylesheet' id='test-less-css'/", "='stylesheet/less' id='test-less-css'", $tag);
}
add_filter('style_loader_tag', 'create_stylesheet_less');
The above code will rewrite the stylesheet link created in the below wp_enqueue_scripts hook.
function child_front_scripts(){
wp_enqueue_script( 'test-less', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/less.js');
wp_enqueue_style( 'test-less', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/stylesheet.less' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_front_scripts', 25);
