How to change btn color in Bootstrap

Issue

Is there a way to change all .btn properties in Bootstrap? I have tried below ones, but still sometimes it shows the default blue color (say after clicking and removing the mouse etc). How can I change the entire theme altogether?

.btn-primary, .btn-primary:hover, .btn-primary:active, .btn-primary:visited {
    background-color: #8064A2;
}

Solution

The easiest way to see which properties you need to override is to take a look at Bootstrap's source code, specifically the .button-variant mixin defined in mixins/buttons.less. You still need to override quite a lot of properties to get rid of all of the .btn-primary styling (e.g. :focus, disabled, usage in dropdowns etc).

A better way might be to:

1. Create your own customized version of Bootstrap using Bootstrap's online customization tool
2. Manually create your own color class, e.g. .btn-whatever
3. Use a LESS compiler and use the .button-variant mixin to create your own color class, e.g. .btn-whatever
