This is the same as the headings issue that I posted here which was resolved: [SOLVED] Headings shouldn't have colors set by default
Body text is given a color when no color is chosen in the global theme settings:
This provides no benefit to users and causes issues with base stylesheets and frameworks that set the website’s body color.
Came across this whilst trying to apply a text colour from acss - very confusing to have a default forced.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for reaching out!
True, we removed the default color from the headings. There was no mention of the body at the time; accordingly, we didn’t change anything about it.
However, you are right that the default body color is just as redundant as the one on the headings. I’ve added it to our to-do list.
Best regards,
timmse
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Is it possible to say when the problem will be fixed? BIn now also encountered the problem. If you change the text body color in ACSS, Bricks always overwrites it. This is confusing. Thanks
@timmse its a bit worrying that this still has not been addressed.
Can you provide an estimate.
Since it was fixed for headings it should be possible to do the same for body text
would love to hear if we gonna see a fix anytime soon. 
Hey guys,
The report seems to have gone down on both sides. We are currently trying to find a solution together with Kevin that satisfies everyone involved
