## Customizing variables

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 `<body>`, you'd do the following:
Every Sass variable in Bootstrap 4 includes the `!default` flag, meaning you can override that default value in your own Sass. Copy and paste variables as needed, modify the values and remove the !default flag. If a variable has already been assigned, then it won't be re-assigned by the default values in Bootstrap. This means that your modified Sass variables should be called before you import Bootstrap Sass files. For example, to change out the `background-color` and `color` for the `<body>`, you'd do the following::

{% highlight scss %}
$body-bg: $gray-900;
$body-color: $gray-600;
// Your variable overwrite first or a Sass file containing the modifications
$body-bg: #000;
$body-color: #111;

// Then import Bootstrap
@import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
{% endhighlight %}

Do the same for any variable you need to override, including the global options listed below.
