If you don't want to use a variable for each color, you can use one variable for all kinds of colors. In the mixin you can choose the right color with nth. For instance, if you write the index of the color as 1, then you get the first color in the color variable.

$colors: #444, #555, #666, #777;

@mixin content($color-default-num, $color-main-num) {
  background: nth($colors, $color-default-num);
  color: nth($colors, $color-main-num);
}

body.class-1 {
  @include content(1, 2);
}
