How to override wp-admin styling

How can I copy the default styling for the admin and tell wordpress to use custom style instead of the default? Basically I want to change the colour and font without having to use !important syntax to force Wordpress to use it.

In WordPress 5.x you can use the following hooks to add CSS to either the admin pages or the post edit page.

enqueue_block_editor_assets to add your own styles to the Gutenberg page

admin_enqueue_scripts to add your own styles to the admin pages

You can add the hooks in your functions.php theme file.

As noted by @Fusion, this has changed beginning with version 5. In order to override admin styles for 5.*, you need a hook in functions.php, something like this:

function custom_admin() {
    $url = get_settings('siteurl');
    $url = $url . '/wp-content/themes/my-theme/wp-admin.css';
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $url . '" />';
}
add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin')

Please note the the isitwp Snippet erroneously mixes html entitites with angle brackets. You should use angle brackets not entitieis.

Enqueue custom admin CSS file (custom-admin.css) in your WordPress backend using below function:

add_action('admin_print_styles', 'custom_admin_css');
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_admin_css');

function custom_admin_css() {
    if (is_admin()) {
        wp_enqueue_style("custom-admin-css", get_bloginfo('template_directory'). "/custom_admin.css", false, false, "all");
    }
}

Hope this works..!!
