I am trying to set up polyfill for css color variables on Joomla website. I pick this solution from Aaron Barker:

On my website, I am loading dozen of css files so I tried to put whole JS code from CodePen to the start of my HEAD section, also I tried put in on the bottom of HTML file -> no result.
Please, am I missing something?
