in case of headings, the color won´t change because of the default color (#212121) of the headings. I don´t know what it´s good for, but removing it won´t hurt I think. So it would be possible to change the color container-wide for all elements.
For text-alignment, it´s because the container is a flex container by default. You cannot change the alignment of its elements with text-align only, but with align-items: left / center / right or align-items: stretch + text alignment or align-self on the heading.
If you set the container to display: inline or block, you can use text alignment to align your content, but you won´t be able to use the flexbox utilities.
I’m running into the same issue! I see the following code from frontend.min.css but for the life of me, I can’t figure out where this is coming from. The variable value is #212121 — is it possible that this is some sort of Bricks default color? As far as I can tell, I have not set a color for all headings, and I am definitely not working with this shade.
I’d like to set a default color via the body selector, and then have colors defined by the container similar to bonnie-clyde above.
Yep, as Sridhar mentioned we removed the font-weight & color default values in Bricks 1.5 RC. Which you can download for testing from your account page: Account – Bricks
If it’s not working as expected, please let me know.
