Is it possible to change the bootstrap primary color to match to the brand color? I am using bootswatch's paper theme in my case.
Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)
The method is still the same for Bootstrap 5.

Bootstrap 4
To change the primary, or any of the theme colors in Bootstrap 4 SASS, set the appropriate variables before importing bootstrap.scss. This allows your custom scss to override the !default values...
$primary: purple;
$danger: red;
#import "bootstrap";
Demo: https://codeply.com/go/f5OmhIdre3
In some cases, you may want to set a new color from another existing Bootstrap variable. For this #import the functions and variables first so they can be referenced in the customizations...
/* import the necessary Bootstrap files */
#import "bootstrap/functions";
#import "bootstrap/variables";
$theme-colors: (
primary: $purple
);
/* finally, import Bootstrap */
#import "bootstrap";
Demo: https://codeply.com/go/lobGxGgfZE

It's also possible to change the primary color with CSS only but it requires a lot of additional CSS since there are many -primary variations (btn-primary, alert-primary, bg-primary, text-primary, table-primary, border-primary, etc...) and some of these classes have slight colors variations on borders, hover, and active states. Therefore, if you must use CSS it's better to use target one component such as changing the primary button color.
I've created this tool: https://lingtalfi.com/bootstrap4-color-generator,
you simply put primary in the first field, then choose your color, and click generate.
Then copy the generated scss or css code, and paste it in a file named my-colors.scss or my-colors.css (or whatever name you want).
Once you compile the scss into css, you can include that css file AFTER the bootstrap CSS and you'll be good to go.
The whole process takes about 10 seconds if you get the gist of it, provided that the my-colors.scss file is already created and included in your head tag.
Note: this tool can be used to override bootstrap's default colors (primary, secondary, danger, ...), but you can also create custom colors if you want (blue, green, ternary, ...).
Note2: this tool was made to work with bootstrap 4 (i.e. not any subsequent version for now).
There are two ways you can go to
http://getbootstrap.com/customize/
And change the color in this adjustments and download the bootstrap customized.
Or you can use sass with this version https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass and import in your sass assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap.scss but before import this you can change the defaults variable colors
//== Colors
//
//## Gray and brand colors for use across Bootstrap.
$gray-base: #000 !default;
$gray-darker: lighten($gray-base, 13.5%) !default; // #222
$gray-dark: lighten($gray-base, 20%) !default; // #333
$gray: lighten($gray-base, 33.5%) !default; // #555
$gray-light: lighten($gray-base, 46.7%) !default; // #777
$gray-lighter: lighten($gray-base, 93.5%) !default; // #eee
$brand-primary: darken(#428bca, 6.5%) !default; // #337ab7
$brand-success: #5cb85c !default;
$brand-info: #5bc0de !default;
$brand-warning: #f0ad4e !default;
$brand-danger: #d9534f !default;
//== Scaffolding
//
//## Settings for some of the most global styles.
//** Background color for `<body>`.
$body-bg: #fff !default;
//** Global text color on `<body>`.
$text-color: $gray-dark !default;
//** Global textual link color.
$link-color: $brand-primary !default;
//** Link hover color set via `darken()` function.
$link-hover-color: darken($link-color, 15%) !default;
//** Link hover decoration.
$link-hover-decoration: underline !default;
And compile the result
Bootstrap 5
For bootstrap 5 you can just go to you main scss file and add:
$primary: #d93eba;
$body-bg: #fff;
$secondary: #8300d9;
or whatever changes you wanna make...
And don't forget to import bootstrap right after.
Your final main.scss file should look like this:
$primary: #d93eba;
$body-bg: #fff;
$secondary: #8300d9;
#import "~node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
Bootstrap 4
This is what worked for me:
I created my own _custom_theme.scss file with content similar to:
/* To simplify I'm only changing the primary color */
$theme-colors: ( "primary":#ffd800);
Added it to the top of the file bootstrap.scss and recompiled (In my case I had it in a folder called !scss)
#import "../../../!scss/_custom_theme.scss";
#import "functions";
#import "variables";
#import "mixins";
Any element with 'primary' tag has the color #brand-primary. One of the options to change it is adding a customized css file like below:
.my-primary{
color: lightYellow ;
background-color: red;
}
.my-primary:focus, .my-primary:hover{
color: yellow ;
background-color: darkRed;
}
a.navbar-brand {
color: lightYellow ;
}
.navbar-brand:hover{
color: yellow;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<br>
<nav class="navbar navbar-dark bg-primary mb-3">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Default (navbar-dark bg-primary)</a>
</div>
</nav>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Default (btn btn-primary)</button>
</div>
<br>
<div class="container">
<nav class="navbar my-primary mb-3">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Customized (my-primary)</a>
</div>
</nav>
<button type="button" class="btn my-primary">Customized (btn my-primary)</button>
</div>

This might be a little bit old question, but I want to share the best way I found to customize bootstrap.
There's an online tool called bootstrap.build https://bootstrap.build/app. It works great and no installation or building tools setup required!
The correct way to change the default primary colour in Bootstrap 4.x using SASS, or any other colours like secondary, success and so on.
Create the following SASS file and import Bootstrap SASS as indicated:
// (Required) Import Bootstrap
#import "bootstrap/functions";
#import "bootstrap/variables";
#import "bootstrap/mixins";
$primary: blue;
$secondary: green;
$my-color: red;
$theme-colors: (
primary: $primary,
secondary: $secondary,
my-color: $my-color
);
// Add below your SASS or CSS code
// (Required) Import Bootstrap
#import "bootstrap/bootstrap";
Using SaSS
change the brand color
$brand-primary:#some-color;
this will change the primary color accross all UI.
Using css- suppose you want to change button primary color.So
btn.primary{
background:#some-color;
}
search the element and add a new css/sass
rule in a new file and attach it after u load the bootstrap css.
Bootstrap 4 rules
Most of the answers here are more or less correct, but all of them with some issues (for me). So, finally, googleing I found the correct procedure, as stated in the dedicated bootstrap doc: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/getting-started/theming/.
Let's assume bootstrap is installed in node_modules/bootstrap.
A. Create your your_bootstrap.scss file:
#import "your_variables_theme"; // here your variables
// mandatory imports from bootstrap src
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/functions";
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables"; // here bootstrap variables
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/mixins";
// optional imports from bootstrap (do not import 'bootstrap.scss'!)
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/root";
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/reboot";
#import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/type";
etc...
B. In the same folder, create the _your_variables_theme.scss file.
C. Customize the bootstrap variables in _your_variables_theme.scss file following this rules:
Copy and paste variables from _variables.scss as needed,
modify their 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.
Variable overrides within the same Sass file can come before or after
the default variables. However, when overriding across Sass files,
your overrides must come before you import Bootstrap’s Sass files.
Default variables are available in node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables.scss.
This seem to work for me in Bootstrap v5 alpha 3
_variables-overrides.scss
$primary: #00adef;
$theme-colors: (
"primary": $primary,
);
main.scss
// Overrides
#import "variables-overrides";
// Required - Configuration
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/functions";
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables";
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/mixins";
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/utilities";
// Optional - Layout & components
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/root";
#import "#/node_modules/bootstrap/scss/reboot";

Bootstrap 5.2. update
If you are working with SCSS and you would like to modify colors you should add maps to your SCSS file.
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/functions";
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables";
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/maps"; // MAPS FILE - SINCE 5.2
and then:
$custom-colors: (
"white": $white, // your colours
);
$theme-colors: map-merge($theme-colors, $custom-colors);
$theme-colors-rgb: map-loop($theme-colors, to-rgb, "$value");
$utilities-colors: map-merge($utilities-colors, $theme-colors-rgb);
$utilities-text-colors: map-loop($utilities-colors, rgba-css-var, "$key", "text");
$utilities-bg-colors: map-loop($utilities-colors, rgba-css-var, "$key", "bg");
and finally:
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/mixins";
#import "../../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/utilities";
and the rest.
Since Bootstrap 4 you can easily change the primary color of your Bootstrap by downloading a simple CSS file on BootstrapColor.net. You don't need to know SASS and the CSS file is ready to use for your website. You can choose the color you want like blue, indigo, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, teal or cyan color.
You cannot change the color in cdn file.
Download the bootstrap file.
Search For bootstrap.css file.
open this(bootstrsap.css) file and search for 'primary'.
change it to the colour you desire.
This is a very easy solution.
<h4 class="card-header bg-dark text-white text-center">Renew your Membership</h4>
replace the class bg-dark, with bg-custom.
In CSS
.bg-custom {
background-color: red;
}
Yes,
I'd suggest opening up the .css file, inspect the page and find the color code you want to change and Find All and Replace (depending on your text editor) to the color you want. Do that with all the colors you want to change

I am trying to add a theme color on Bootstrap's theme colors map but it wasn't working.
I am following this YouTube tutorial. And Bootstrap documentation.
And it still doesn't work, I don't see any errors to my code.
#import "../functions";
#import "../variables";
$custom-colors: (
"dark-primary": hsl(255, 11%, 22%)
);
// Merge the maps
$theme-colors: map-merge($theme-colors, $custom-colors);
//bootstrap import
#import "../bootstrap.scss";
What I usually do, is create my custom class for the element and just override it with !important.
.myElement{
color: #000 !important;
}
Just make sure to override the correct property. Google Chrome Developer Tools might help.
Following this tutorial here, I've managed to override Bootstrap 5 default colors in my React application created with create-react-app. Inside my /src/scss/custom.scss I can call any of my new defined variables and use it at will, and even new created classes inside custom.scss are working just fine. Nevertheless, the default Bootstrap classes that use colors (as btn-primary, bg-secondary or text-white) doesn't change at all. When I use btn-primary, for example, the button color is the same old blue color that is the default Bootstrap primary color.
What am I missing?
Make sure you #import Bootstrap after the custom.scss. This will let your changes override the theme color !defaults in Bootstrap variables.scss (referenced in bootstrap.scss).
/* custom.scss */
$primary: #362ec4;
$secondary: #8f5325;
$success: #3e8d63;
$info: #7854e4;
$warning: #b8c924;
$danger: #d62518;
$light: #f8f9fa;
$dark: #343a40;
/* end custom.scss */
#import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss';
React on Codeply
Also, note the article is unnecessarily re-building the theme-colors map which isn't necessary unless you're adding a new theme color variant ie; $accent.
Also see: Unable to override $theme-color in bootstrap
Per the Bootstrap docs,
Every Sass variable in Bootstrap 4 includes the !default flag allowing
you to override the variable’s default value in your own Sass without
modifying Bootstrap’s source code. Copy and paste variables as needed,
modify their 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.
So they recommend you create your own theme like this:
// Your variable overrides
$body-bg: #000;
$body-color: #111;
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
What I would like to do is have two sets of variables, and uses this to switch between a light and dark theme:
// Your variable overrides
body.light-mode {
$body-bg: #fff;
}
body.dark-mode {
$body-bg: #000;
}
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
But this doesn't seem to be working, I think because of how variables are scoped.
Is this possible? Ideally I'd like to have light and dark variables in their own file.
For a little context; I am using bootstrap in a web app created by create-react-app, and they recommend to import bootstrap as detailed here. If I just generated 2 separate style sheets I'd have copy those to my /public folder manually and reference, and they wouldn't be part of the webpack bundling.
This was the solution I went with:
// Default theme
$body-bg: #fff;
// etc...
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
// dark theme, turned on by adding class dark to document.documentElement (html tag)
.dark {
$body-bg: #000;
// etc...
// Import just the things you customize
#import "~bootstrap/scss/functions";
#import "~bootstrap/scss/variables";
#import "~bootstrap/scss/mixins";
#import "~bootstrap/scss/tables";
#import "~bootstrap/scss/button-group"
// etc....
}
That won't work. Why not make two different themes - dark/light:
light theme (light-theme.scss):
// Your variable overrides
$body-bg: #fff;
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
dark theme (dark-theme.scss):
// Your variable overrides
$body-bg: #000;
// Bootstrap and its default variables
#import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";
and then pull the appropriate style sheet into the page as needed?
In my react app I'm trying to implement CSS modules to my project.
Here's my App.sass :
/*entry point for global styles*/
/*Include config files*/
#import "./style/utils/config"
#import "./style/utils/mixin"
// Font Icon
#import "./style/ionicons"
I just want to use my mixin in my css module as well.
Header.module.sass
#import "../../App"
.header
color: red
background: #000
.site-name
a
#include link
is there anyway to use mixin globally without using #import "../../App" on every css module file ?
I am currently using materialize.css and I want to override the default variables so that the main file remain unchanged. What I am trying in my main stylesheet.scss is like
#import '_materialize';
#import '_modified';
#import '_new';
In my _modified file I am setting
$secondary-color: color("blue", "darken-1");
In materialize.scss, _variable.scss is already imported (default framework file) in which secondary color value is
$secondary-color: color("teal", "lighten-1") !default;
Still secondary color remain teal.How to override with external scss file like this one?
Edit-1: Found the solution.
$secondary-color: color("teal", "lighten-1") !default;
was not working due to not loading color mixin file of materialize css.
After #import "materialize/components/color"; in modified.scss and then
$secondary-color:color("teal", "lighten-5");
works now.
Import your vars first (not last):
#import '_your-vars'; // your own vars
#import '_materialize'; // includes framework vars
... // other modifications
As far as I understand the SCSS !default flag: it's a fallback, when nothing has been declared before. So when you import your variables (only the variables, no other modifications which might have dependencies) first, it will work.
See below examples
$secondary-color: color("blue", "darken-1");
.someClass{
$secondary-color: color("teal", "darken-1") !important;
.someClass h2{
color: $secondary-color;
}
}
