Description

After upgrade to v4 I am unable to override default colors (e.g. $blue2), even using node-sass. Has anything changed from v3 which would impact this?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how v4 changed the Sass variable structure (e.g., removal of `!default` flags, scoping changes, or import order requirements) compared to v3. Check the migration guide and source files for variable definitions. Use dart sass/node sass debugging options to trace variable resolution.
