there is a good example of this on this tutorial

To simplify the tutorial, we could do the following

In the body you could have something like this:

:root {
  --main-color: #42b983;
}

body {
  background-color: var(--main-color);
}

To access and change the variable in javascript, you could do the following thing:

// Get the root element
const root = document.documentElement;

// Retrieve the current value of a CSS variable
const currentColor = getComputedStyle(root).getPropertyValue('--main-color');

// Update the CSS variable
root.style.setProperty('--main-color', '#ff5733');

I am not thackling the whole javascript interactions here, as it already has been done in the ansers before, I am just showing the code that updates the root color.
