+<small class="d-inline-flex px-2 py-1 font-monospace text-muted border rounded-3">Added in v5.2.0</small>
+
+As part of Bootstrap's evolving CSS variables approach, dropdowns now use local CSS variables on `.dropdown-menu` for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

+Customization through CSS variables can be seen on the `.dropdown-menu-dark` class where we override specific values without adding duplicate CSS selectors.
