[IONIC 4] color of ion-label

How I can change the color of a ion-label in ionic 4?
I tried in the scss of the page:

ion-label{
–color: green;
}

But it doesn’t work!

not sure if this is a typo, but it should be

ion-label {

otherwise @brandyshea answered a similar question over here

Hope this is useful!

Yes mine was a typo in the post.

Your answer was useful. Following @brandyshea post I found a solution.
I put in my variables.scss

.ion-color-mycolorLabel {
  --ion-color-base:green;
}

and then i my html tag
color="mycolorLabel"
