Specification

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5/#inherit-notation

Summary

The inherit() function works similarly to the var() function, but substitutes to the computed custom property value of the parent element, rather than the current element. This can be useful if you want to take a value from the parent element, and make an adjustment to it "in-place", e.g. `--foo: calc(inherit(-foo) * 2)`.
