Globally set custom Bootstrap 4 button color












-1















I am trying to set the color of Bootstrap 4 buttons. Precisely I want to change the color of btn-primary while holding a mouse click down on it. It has to be some button event I have to colorize, but it does not appear to be in hover, focus, or active.



In my tests I got the button with the class btn-primary entirely red except while clicking on it, which turns the button blue. For creating CSS I make use of Sass.



My app.scss file:



.btn-primary {
&:hover {
color: red;
background-color: red;
}
&:focus {
color: red;
background-color: red;
}
&:active {
color: red;
background-color: red;
}
}


How can I set the color of the button while clicking on it?

          use with !important.






          .btn-primary:hover {
          color: red;
          background-color: red !important;
          }

          .btn-primary:focus {
          color: red;
          background-color: orange !important;
          }

          .btn-primary:active {
          color: white;
          background-color: green !important;
          }

          <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

          <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary</button>





          Or, without using !important:






          <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

          <style>
          .btn-primary:hover {

          .btn-primary:focus {
          color: red;
          background-color: orange;
          }

          .btn-primary:not(:disabled):not(.disabled):active {
