After fiddeling around with a vertical nav, i found out there is no scss variable to change the color of these. There is $link-color but that changes all the links. I expected there to be a $nav-color or something. A nav is different than a navbar, and also different than just normal links. So should there be a scss variable to change the color, hover etc for an a href inside .nav-item thats inside .nav
