Setting up the Less variables


As in our previous projects, the next step is to update our Less variables for our new project. Open _variables.less, which is located in /css/components. Let's go through each new part section by section.

Adding new colors

I've added a few new colors that I want to use in the project. Each of these colors is prepended with bw- so that we can easily identify that they are project-specific; bw- stands for Bootstrap wiki, if it's not obvious. Here are the new colors:

@bw-dark-primary: #00796b;
