# Use theme settings in your custom CSS

Reference Fliplet theme SCSS variables (colors, typography, spacing) inside your custom CSS so your overrides inherit the theme's settings on a specific screen.

Here is an example, let's say you want to override the background color of your `<body>` with the color of a button, on a specific screen:
```scss
body {
  background-color: $primaryButtonColor;
}
```
You would write that code in your custom CSS editor for that specific screen.
