What do I need to know about them?

I might be a little off…
Hope this helps.

I used to think the colours defined at the top were only used for calculating new colour scheme when running the theme wizard, using the theme in focus as a base.
Thanks.

Then it works as a variable that is referenced through the CSS, named by the second parameter.
You can if you wish just bypass it and directly enter your own CSS colour codes in place or in addition to what the Theme Wizard is doing, you're not tied into it.

Some CSS files have {$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#RRGGBB,name,equation} lines near the top.
When the Theme Wizard runs the first parameter (the colour) of the THEME_WIZARD_COLOR lines is regenerated from the third parameter (the equation).
For example,
Code
{$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#426aa9,box_title_background,100% seed}
Code
{$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#ff0000,box_title_background,100% seed}
This is all happening only when the Theme Wizard is run.
There is a special case of these particular equations:
Code
{$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#94979d,seed,100% 426aa9}
{$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#ffffff,WB,100% FFFFFF}
{$THEME_WIZARD_COLOR,#000000,BW,100% 000000}
When the CSS file is compiled, it works as a simple variable system. The second parameter serves as the variable name, which can then be referenced in the CSS as {$GET,name}. It's a very straight-forward substitution system.
You can if you wish just bypass the Theme Wizard equations system and directly enter your own CSS colour codes in place or in addition to what the Theme Wizard is doing. You are in no way tied into the mechanism of the Theme Wizard once you begin editing your own theme. That said, it can be useful to help you keep your colour palette consistent.

What Are CSS Vendor or Browser Prefixes?

This adds CSS prefixing automatically, or makes other changes to make it work stably across browsers.

My bad. I've just read that in the comments in global.css
