The only thing I don’t like is how you are dependent on a third-party to keep the code up to date.

This tool is essentially a hybrid approach of my previous customization options. PaintStrap is an online tool that lets you load in or edit an existing color scheme then save out the necessary CSS files. Hybrid – Use an Online Build Tool Like PaintStrap If you are new to SCSS and want to learn how to compile a custom version of Bootstrap check out my course that covers this topic in more detail. Then convert your SCSS to CSS using your build process. Compiling Source – Update Sass variablesįor more control I recommend using the Source files and updating the Bootstrap color variables. Then link to the new stylesheet after the CDN version to override the default colors. It will take some cleanup work but now you will have a new file you can call “bootstrap-color.css” that only contains your new color declarations. You could follow the same steps as above but delete everything except your color changes. If you are worried about missing future updates and having to repeat the process each time. Then save this new stylesheet in your project folder and link to your customized version instead of the CDN version.


If you are linking to a pre-compiled version of Bootstrap I recommend looking at the raw source and using search and replace in your code text editor to replace all of the color values.
