Unless links are given a highlight color in the editor, they do not show on Atomic sites using the Orvis theme as soon as the default link color is changed in the customizer.
5516610-zen
Steps to reproduce
Add the Orvis theme to a site.
Make sure the site is Atomic.
Change the link color under Appearance > Customize > Colors & Background to anything other than the default.
Add a link to any post or page without giving it color using the highlight option.
What you expected to happen
Expected links to show as blue in the editor unless a highlight color is added.
What actually happened
If the site is Atomic and the link color has been changed in the customizer, the link cannot be seen in the editor, even though it still shows on the live page or post.
Context
The links still show on the live page, but not in the editor. I've only found it happening on Atomic sites.
Platform (Simple, Atomic, or both?)
Atomic
Theme-specific issue?
Have only had it happen on the Orvis theme so far.

Severity

Available workarounds?
Yes, easy to implement
Workaround details
It is easy to implement in the sense you can change the highlight color of each link in the editor, but could be time-consuming, depending on how many links the user has.
I was not able to replicate this issue. Links showed blue for me in the editor and the custom color on my live site as expected.
I tested with a link in the Classic block and Paragraph block.
I did notice some strange behavior that made the link hard to edit when a custom color was selected because the background and text color is the same as the custom color, but that seems to be a different issue. Screenshot:

Since I'm not able to replicate this, I would recommend following up with the user to troubleshoot this further or suggest they use the workaround. If you can find how to replicate this issue on another test site or if there are other user reports, please feel free to reopen with more details. Thanks!
