How to override css properties from a specific module?

Question

I created a custom theme, that inherits from magento/blank theme. And I am able to override and extend css classes that are defined in

vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank/web/css/source/*.less 

using the "Adding structured changes" section in the documentation (http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/frontend-dev-guide/css-guide/css_quick_guide_approach.html).

However, the property I want to change is defined in

vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank/Magento_Newsletter/web/css/source/_module.less

overriding the class in my _module_extend.less doesn't work.

What is the right magento way to do that?

Thanks!

You will need to create _extend.less within the module inside your theme like so:

app/design/frontend/your-store/your-theme/Magento_Newsletter/web/css/source/_extend.less
