I'm sure I remember reading somewhere of how you could set your own colour definitions in a css file, something like this:

/* create a custom palette */
MAINTEXT: #aabbcc;
MAINBGND: #100808;

/* specify colours using custom palette names */
body { color: MAINTEXT; background-color: MAINBGND; }

Is this possible somehow?

only if you used a script. CSS does not have variables.

you could write your CSS as a php page:

PHP Code:

<?
header("Content-type: text/css");

$main_content = "#333";
$main_bg = "#000";
?>

body {
    color: <?=$main_content?>;
    background-color: <?=$main_bg?>;
}

sinman has a script that can do that:

Nice. Thanks very much for that, will also come in handy for some other bits of the site!
