Using null on arguments list

Hi, I used null value on mixin arguments list and it works. Is this correct or is best list the next argument?

@include text(1.625rem, null, 200, white);

or

@include text(1.625rem, $weight: 200, $color: white);

Thanks

Hey Rau,

Either way works; however, you're redeclaring null for the second argument. This is redundant and should generally be avoided.

Shouldn't it be $white -- not white

white will work, whether or not $white has been declared as a variable, since white is a valid named color in CSS.
