 * Hello,
 * I pasted following code in functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function my_styles_method() {
           	wp_enqueue_style(
           		'custom-style',
           		get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/custom_script.css'
           	);
                   $color = #FF0000; //E.g. #FF0000
                   $custom_css = "
                           .mycolor{
                                   background: {$color};
                           }";
                   wp_add_inline_style( 'custom-style', $custom_css );
           }
           add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_styles_method' );
       ```
   
 * custom_script.css file is displayed in source of website but file is just empty,
   chmod of file is 644

 * Are you trying to write this file `custom_script.css` with your CSS codes? use
   [file creating and writing in PHP](http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_create.asp)
 * I would just queue the inline CSS to head section like this:
 *     ```
       add_action('wp_head', 'enqueue_my_css');
       function enqueue_my_css() {
       	?>
       		<style type="text/css" media="all">
   
       		.mycolor {
       			background: #FF0000;
       		}
   
       		</style>
       	<?php
       }
       ```

 * OK, so wp_add_inline_style doesn’t add style do css file but it adds style after
   custom_script.css inside:
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css" media="all">
       ...
       </style>
       ```
