html {

}
body {
   background:rgb(var(--c));
   height:100px;
}
.box {
 --c:12,12,12;
 --o:0.7;
 background:rgba(var(--c),var(--o));
 color:#fff;
}

You can also define each channel alone:

:root {
  --r:255;
  --g:0;
  --b:0;
  --c:var(--r),var(--g) ,var(--b);
  --o:0.5;
}
html {
  background:rgba(var(--c),var(--o));
}
body {
   background:rgb(var(--c));
   height:100px;
}
.box {
 --c:12,12,12;
 --o:0.7;
 background:rgba(var(--c),var(--o));
 color:#fff;
}
