Sass Mixin: Callback or Replace #content - sass

Question

I don't know if Sass is able to do this, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
The Problem
Basically I have three colors pattern that are repeated in multiple sections of application, like blue, green and orange. Sometimes what changes is the background-color, or the border-color of the component... Sometimes is the text color of a child element, etc.
What I thought?
1. Replace a string pattern inside a content.
.my-class {
#include colorize {
background-color: _COLOR_;
.button {
border-color: _COLOR_;
color: _COLOR_;
}
}
}
2. Providing a callback variable for #content.
// This is just a concept, IT DOESN'T WORK.
#mixin colorize {
$colors: blue, green, orange;
#each $colors in $color {
// ...
#content($color); // <-- The Magic?!
// ...
}
}
// Usage
#include colorize {
background-color: $color;
}
I tried to implement such solutions, but without success.
Instead of it...
See below my workaround to get it partially working:
#mixin colorize($properties) {
$colors: blue, green, orange;
#for $index from 1 through length($colors) {
&:nth-child(#{length($colors)}n+#{$index}) {
#each $property in $properties {
#{$property}: #{nth($colors, $index)};
}
}
}
}
You can use this mixin that way:
.some-class {
#include colorize(background-color);
}
What will come output:
.some-class:nth-child(3n+1) {
background-color: blue;
}
.some-class:nth-child(3n+2) {
background-color: green;
}
.some-class:nth-child(3n+3) {
background-color: orange;
}
The problem? Well, I can't use it with child selectors.
Based on the above information, there is some magic solution for this case?

Answer 1

I think I figured out what you meant; it is a little (very) messy, but it should do what you want:
#mixin colorize($parentProperties,$childMaps) {
$colors: blue, green, orange;
#for $index from 1 through length($colors) {
&:#{nth($colors, $index)} {
#each $property in $parentProperties {
#{$property}: #{nth($colors, $index)};
}
}
#each $mapped in $childMaps {
$elem: nth($mapped,1);
$properties: nth($mapped,2);
#{$elem}:nth-child(#{length($colors)}n+#{$index}) {
#each $property in $properties {
#{$property}: #{nth($colors, $index)};
}
}
}
}
}
It would turn out to be:
/* -------------- USAGE ------------------*/
.some-class {
#include colorize(
background-color,( //Parent properties
(button, background-color), //Child, (properties)
(span, (background-color,border-color)) //Child, (properties)
)
);
}
/* --------------- OUTPUT ----------------*/
.some-class:nth-child(3n+1) {
background-color: blue;
}
.some-class button:nth-child(3n+1) {
background-color: blue;
}
.some-class span:nth-child(3n+1) {
background-color: blue;
border-color: blue;
}
.some-class:nth-child(3n+2) {
background-color: green;
}
.some-class button:nth-child(3n+2) {
background-color: green;
}
.some-class span:nth-child(3n+2) {
background-color: green;
border-color: green;
}
.some-class:nth-child(3n+3) {
background-color: orange;
}
.some-class button:nth-child(3n+3) {
background-color: orange;
}
.some-class span:nth-child(3n+3) {
background-color: orange;
border-color: orange;
}
Hope that that is what you are looking for :)
