Northem provides the template-css.scss template file to compile a northem-dark.css stylesheet.

The generated file contains all Northem Dark color variables prefixed with -- inside the :root pseudo-class.
The :root pseudo-class represents an element that is the root of the document.
This is always the HTML (<html>) element which allows to use the Northem Dark color variables for the whole document.
