Twenty Sixteen: Text color setting in pullquote block not applied

[kokkieh]

Text color settings in the pull quote block are not being applied.

To replicate:

1. With Twenty Sixteen active, create a new post in the block editor
2. Add a Pullquote block
3. Add some text and try adjusting the color settings

Result:

The border color is applied, but the text color is not applied in either the editor or the published post.

The source code for the post does show a class for the applied color:

<figure class="wp-block-pullquote" style="border-color:#ff675f"><blockquote class="has-text-color has-bright-blue-color"><p>This is a quote</p><cite>by me<br></cite></blockquote></figure>

But looking in the inspector it seems the color is instead being applied from the blocks.css file, line 170:

.wp-block-pullquote p {
	color: #686868;
	font-size: 19px;
	font-size: 1.1875rem;
}

Reported by a WordPress.com user in the ​forums, but confirmed on a self-hosted installation as well. Also tested with no plugins active at all to rule out possible conflicts.

Thanks, @kokkieh! I am also able to reproduce this. Looks like the text color has never worked correctly in Twenty Sixeteen.

Patch.

Hello guys!

Tested both 47019 and 47019.2.

47019 looks good to me; it seems to solve the issue on both the editor and frontend. On the other hand, 47019.2 doesn't seem to work well.

First time participating/contributing so I hope I'm doing it correctly! Looking forward to help out more.

Hi all.

I also tested the 47019 patch and I confirm that it works on my freshly installed latest build.

This is my first contribution. Hope it's helpful.

47019 works for me too.

The most recent patch applies cleanly to trunk, and the testing appears to confirm a resolution. Marking this one for commit.

I might be doing something wrong, but for some reason 47019.diff​ did not resolve the issue in my testing. I did, however, notice that other bundled themes appear to have the same issue.

Moving to 5.4 to handle this consistently across all bundled themes.
