SASS Invalid css error

It looks like your syntax is wrong. In Sass, @ is for things like imports, media directives, partials (includes) and extends.

If you want to define a specific value for blue, and then reuse it, then the syntax is something like this:

$blue: #3333FF;

a {
    font-weight: bold;
    color: $blue;
}
