Overriding Bootstrap variables in Rails with bootstrap-sass gem

Viewed 24850

I am using the bootstrap-sass gem (Bootstrap 3.0) by Thomas McDonald. I've followed the Bootstrap and Rails tutorial by Daniel Kehoe.

I have application.css.scss which has the following at the top:

 /*
 *= require_self
 *= require_tree .
 */

And I have framework_and_overrides.css.scss which has this line in it:

@import "bootstrap";

Now I tried overriding bootstrap variables ($body-bg: #f00;) I found here and placing them in either of these two files but nothing changes. What am I doing wrong?
