What's the best way to customize Bootstrap button colors using SASS variables?

Asked on Oct 13, 2025

Answer

To customize Bootstrap button colors using SASS variables, you can override Bootstrap's default SASS variables before importing Bootstrap's SASS files. This allows you to apply your custom colors globally across all buttons. 
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        // Custom SASS variables
        $primary: #ff5733;
        $secondary: #33c3ff;

        // Import Bootstrap
        @import 'bootstrap';
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->
Additional Comment:
  • Use SASS to override Bootstrap's default color variables.
  • Ensure your custom variables are defined before importing Bootstrap.
  • This method applies the custom colors globally to all Bootstrap components using these variables.
  • You can customize other button colors by overriding additional variables like `$success`, `$danger`, etc.
