When the value applied to the themer is called into the theme function, the is exposed as is (no color is applied).

2. After adding the new plugin, use the values extended by tailwindcss-themer.

Thanks for opening this. I'll take a look at it soon

It seems this is an existing bug/limitation within Tailwind. Looking at tailwind's open issues, it seems this should help tailwindlabs/tailwindcss#9143 (comment)

This worked for me

    plugin(function ({ addBase }) {
      addBase({
        '#plugin': {
          backgroundColor: "theme('backgroundColor.base')" // 👈🏻 Wrap it in a string instead
        }
      })
    })

Does this work for you?

I'm going to close this preemptively as expected behavior.
