Description

This PR changes the color property of captions ensuring that they inherit their color from the parent element where the image/figure is placed. However, there are some things to note, which may be included in the USER TRAINING modules. See the technical details below.

Technical details

In the screenshot below, the parents are placed in a group with the tomato background colour. However, no text colour has been set for this particular column so any text found in this column will inherit it's colour from the body element. image

Body Element: image

We can set colours to individual blocks of text and paragraphs but for captions to inherit a colour other than that of the global body element, then the column where the images are placed needs to have a text colour set.

In the screenshot below, I have set a text colour (white) for the column where these images are places.

and the frontend render, the captions inherit the proper colour (white) instead of the color property of the global body element. image

So in conclusion, for the inheritance to work properly, the parent element (group or column) where the image is placed needs to have a text colour set for it, else the captions will inherit the colour property of the next parent element that has a colour property set.
