Ok, now I see what is going on. I had not changed the default black for the Impact Text Color. Once I changed it, it worked!
However, I do believe this is confusing because when you add the “Impact text and button” element to your page, it is – by default – set to “styles” (which to me implies that no style has yet been set) and “paragraph” (which implies to me that it should match the paragraph style you have set for your theme). Otherwise, I would expect that the “style” would be set to “impact”, which would be a clue to me that there is something else I need to change.
Does that make sense?
Now that I understand this, I’m not saying the theme is wrong at all, but possibly the instructions or documentation should be more clear for this one page element. It’s a great theme, by the way.
Anyway, I really appreciate you clearing this up! Thank you!
