Variables
Component variables are used to theme a component. They likely will be left as is, but if needed can be overwritten by duplicating the variable in a @key: value format with a different value. This customized variable would be placed in the same file where this component’s less file is imported. Color variables referenced in comments are from cf-core cf-brand-colors.less.
