Problem changing text color in paragraph block

    I just built my first WP site in WP 5.9.3 and launched it today. All is well. BUT I had an issue pop up before I finished building it, that is still in place when I am working in my test/staging site. I add a new page, insert a paragraph block, and change the colors for the text and background – as I’ve done successfully on all the existing pages on my site. The text I change it to is a rust color (dd9933) and the background a dark grey, and it shows up just fine while I’m editing. But when I UPDATE the page and then go to VIEW the page, the text is a grey just barely lighter than the grey background, but visible. NO RUST color. This is my first forum topic posting/question, so please bear with me if I haven’t provided everything needed to help me. Please Help Me! Thanks.

    Hi, therealrosiemcgee, you may need some CSS to override the text color, making it what you set from within the editor (are you using the block editor – built-in – or the Classic Editor)?

    Hi Ian, I appreciate your answering my post. I believe I’m using the block editor – the one that’s built into the theme I’m using.

    But at this point, I’ve figured out a solution that bypasses the issue I couldn’t solve directly. (I ‘duplicate’ a paragraph that is correct and then edit the text.) Since, for now, I’m not actually blogging but using my site more as a static gateway, I can get by. Also, for the record, the text color issue only came up with ONE color, and if/when I do get into actual blogging, I’ll just use one of the other preset colors.

    Thanks again. Rosie
