I’m also not sure what --base-bg-color: is, I’ve messed with it and haven't noticed anything.

--base-bg-color is a fallback variable. Its the same as --base-bg-color-body-overlay without the opacity. For users with slower loading internet typically the first thing they see will be the very base background color before anything else. This variable is in place to ensure they don't get blinded by a white screen while the site loads lol.
