@kribby, the styles for the login/registration page are defined [here](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/open-release/ironwood.master/lms/static/sass/views/_login-register.scss). However, some defaults are likely inherited from styles in other places.

For instance, to override the styles of the button in question, you can use a selector like

```css
.login-register .action-primary {
  // Your custom styles go here.
}

```

Since theming an Open edX instance uniformly is an issue, we at OpenCraft have developed a [theme skeleton](https://github.com/open-craft/edx-simple-theme/tree/simple-theme-enhancements) which exposes custom SASS variables using which it is easy to set/customize the colors of various interface elements. We also have an [open upstream PR](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/22543) to add all the changes in the skeleton to the default them itself. There is also a [post](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/open-edx-theming-improvements-and-simplification/461) on this forum about the issues faced when trying to do so.

I am not aware of an easy way to do this without having to write some (or possibly a lot of) custom CSS/SASS overrides.
