SCSS Color Usage

Include these colors in scss files in one of two ways:

Variable name
// $color_name-level
$primary-100
$primary-200
$brand-100
$brand-200
Mixin (deprecated)
theme-color($color-name, $variant)

Using the variable name instead of the theme-color mixin will make later upgrade paths easier. Paragon may begin to adopt CSS variables for theming and attempt to eliminate mixins from the public api.
