Mark's right. Try it like this:
$lime: #090;
a {
color:$lime;
}
Also, keep in mind that Sass is processed in sequential order line by line, so when you declare a Sass variable, make sure it's preprocessed before the code you use it in.
I like to create a Sass partial just for declaring all of my color variables.
Cheers!

You're missing a semi-colon after one of your declarations. Once you pop that in there you'll be good to go!

3,635 Pointsthanks guys begging error haha. on a side not anyone know why my sublime text is not recognizing scss and all text shows up white instead of color labeled. makes it hard to see.

12,151 PointsYou can actually tell it to render scss files with css colorization by going to:
View -> Syntax -> CSS
There are a number of addons you can install for Sublime, as well. Check out this post about .sass/.scss syntax highlighting and other Sass-support related issues:

*Edit: I misspelled 'render'. :)

3,635 PointsThanks Tim, I got everything up and running now. It seems like I had gone to far with the plugins for sublime lol and one of the build/save sass pluggins was throwing my computer into a hissy fit. For now its back up and running. Just learning more sass now, so i can use the benefits it offers.
also would you mind adding me on skype? Or anyone else who would like to chat about web dev and technologies can add me my alias is: jarggsx on skype

12,151 PointsHmm, I'm not a Sublime expert per se. Have you tried restarting Sublime altogether? Also, have you installed Sass on your system? That might be the problem.
http://sass-lang.com/install
This provides a great tutorial on several methods to install Sass.
If that doesn't help (or you've already installed Sass) tell me what you see when you type 'sass' into the Mac OS X terminal. (Go to Applications->Utilities->Terminal.app in your finder.)
