Say, we need to color n items by specific colors, which depend on its position. #SCSS supports iteration over lists for that purposes:
@mixin color-per-child($colors) { @each $color in $colors { &:nth-child(#{index(($colors), ($color))}) { color: $color; } }}Usage is simple:
.item { @include color_per_child((#ded187, #dbde87, #bade87, #9cde87, #87deaa));}
