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.
+You will find the complete list of Bootstrap's variables in `scss/_variables.scss`.

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.
Here's an example that changes the `background-color` and `color` for the `<body>` when importing and compiling Bootstrap via npm:
Customize Bootstrap 4 with our built-in custom variables file and easily toggle global CSS preferences with new `$enable-*` Sass variables. Override a variable's value and recompile with `npm run test` as needed.
-You can find and customize these variables for key global options in our `_variables.scss` file.

### All colors
-All colors available in Bootstrap 4, are available as Sass variables and a Sass map in our `scss/_variables.scss` file. This will be expanded upon in subsequent minor releases to add additional shades, much like the [grayscale palette](#grays) we already include.

### Theme colors
-We use a subset of all colors to create a smaller color palette for generating color schemes, also available as Sass variables and a Sass map in our `scss/_variables.scss` file.
