Is there an option to include opacity on the colors you define to be your primary/secondary colors in the sass variables? In the fashion of the lighten($color, amount) function?
You can use rgba
, i.e.
$primary: rgba(20,20,20, .5);
It works for hex values as well
$primary: rgba(#4B00B5, .3);
You can also set the opacity of colors based on a variable value. For example:
$primary-color: #a61723;
....
color: rgba($primary-color, .5);
