How do I change ionic slider pager dots/circles color when active to yellow and inactive to white?

Question

So I have this slide-box, as you can see the pager dots/circles appear without me needing to include <ion-slide-pager></ion-slide-pager>:

  <ion-slide-box>

    <ion-slide>
      <div class="slide-wrapper">

        <img class="slider-img" src="../../img/icons/corazonesfera.png"/>

For those using Ionic 4, you'll need to set the color within ion-slides like so:

ion-slides {
   --bullet-background: white;
   --bullet-background-active: yellow;
