Variables.scss Being Overridden

I’m having a problem with a newly created app using Ionic 5. I’m simply trying to use my own custom colors in the variables.scss file, but the colors I add are always overriden by core.scss. core.scss uses the !important attribute and is included last on the rendered page so my styles always get overridden. Am I not understanding something or might this be a bug?

Hmm that’s wired, Can you post your variable file?

The file is below. The custom fonts show up and so do the custom colors (primary and secondary). But, they’re overridden by core.scss.

// Ionic Variables and Theming. For more info, please see:

$colors: (
  primary: #591f9a,
  secondary: #9132db
);
