sass variables aren't working in Ionic-4 while importing all the files at one place

I have created a folder name variables inside the app. Inside the folder I have created my sass file named customColor.scss. So now in customColor.scss I have my colors posted below.

customColor.scss

$color-primary: #1706b3;
$color-primary-light: #393b8f;
$color-primary-dark: #28b485;
$color-secondary-light: #ffb900;
$color-secondary-dark: #ff7730;
$color-tertiary-light: #2998ff;
$color-tertiary-dark: #5643fa;
$color-grey-light-1: #f7f7f7;
$color-grey-light-2: #eee;
$color-grey-dark: #777;
$color-grey-dark-2: #999;
$color-grey-dark-3: #333;
$color-white: #fff;
$color-black: #000;

Now in my app.comoponent.scss I have imported all my internal folder scss files as below 

@import "./variables/customColor.scss";
@import "./tab2/tab2.page.scss";
@import "./tab3/tab3.page.scss";

My custom color are working fine in tab2.page.scss but not working in tab3.page.scss. I'm getting the below error.

./src/app/tab3/tab3.page.scss
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/sass-loader/lib/loader.js):

    background-color: $color-black;
                     ^
      Undefined variable: "$color-black".
      in D:\myApp\src\app\tab3\tab3.page.scss (line 44, column 23)

Note: It's working if I import my customColor.scss to tab3.page.scss. I'm completely new to Ionic, Angular and SASS.
Not able to understand that where does this goes wrong. Any leads or fixes? TIA

Each file is independent unit, which means each one have his own scope.

I don't know why tab2 is not throwing a compile error, but tab2 and tab3 is encapsulated from customColors which means you need to import customColors inside them.

customColor.scss

$color-primary: #1706b3;
$color-primary-light: #393b8f;
$color-primary-dark: #28b485;
$color-secondary-light: #ffb900;
$color-secondary-dark: #ff7730;
$color-tertiary-light: #2998ff;
$color-tertiary-dark: #5643fa;
$color-grey-light-1: #f7f7f7;
$color-grey-light-2: #eee;
$color-grey-dark: #777;
$color-grey-dark-2: #999;
$color-grey-dark-3: #333;
$color-white: #fff;
$color-black: #000;

tab2.page.scss

@import "../variables/customColor.scss";

tab3.page.scss

@import "../variables/customColor.scss";

maybe add globals.scss

@import "./variables/customColor.scss";
@import "./tab2/tab2.page.scss";
@import "./tab3/tab3.page.scss";

and then in app.comoponent.scss

@import "./customColor.scss";
