Copy and paste relevant lines from there into the `_custom.scss` file, modify the values, and recompile your Sass to change our default values. **Be sure to remove the `!default` flag from override values.** +Every Sass variable in Bootstrap 4 includes the `!default` flag, meaning you can override that default value in your own Sass even after that original variable's been defined. Copy and paste variables as needed, modify the values, remove the `!default` flag, and recompile. For example, to change out the `background-color` and `color` for the ``, you'd do the following: {% highlight scss %} -// Bootstrap overrides -// -// Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values -// without modifying source files. - $body-bg: $gray-dark; $body-color: $gray-light; {% endhighlight %}
