What if in your multitude of style sheets, you set the border colour of a number of elements (as the designer requested) to piggypink. The designer later changes his mind and decides to use alienarmpit instead. Sure, search and replace comes in to use but is a search for fddde6 any more difficult than a search for piggypink?
fdde6 is less memorable than piggypink, absolutely. But I don't know when you'd not use a variable such as $global-border as opposed to using $piggypink throughout your style sheets.

Perhaps $global-border: $piggypink is a use case.
