 * How can I change editor-style.css, without loosing the changes on theme update?
   Is there a way to use it in child theme? I just want to change the body text 
   color, because I noticed that the current color (#787c7f) is barrely visible 
   on some screens…

 * Interesting question…I am curious if adding the editor-style.css to the child
   theme will work, and sure enough it does because I just now tried it with the
   child theme for Luminescence Lite. So it looks like you can change the editor
   css as well.

 * Only if I delete editor-style.css from parent theme, it gets loaded from child
   theme. But even then I get strange results… What I mean by that is, the changes
   in child editor-style.css don’t apply. It’s like the css is cached somewhere 
   or smth…
 * The color should be set to black, but it’s not.

 * All I did was make a new editor-style.css and added it to the child theme. Then
   I added this:
 * body {color: #000000;}
 * For you, it could be cached in your browser if you are not seeing changes, so
   you may want to clear your browser cache.
 * Just to make sure it was working, I deliberately made my text red and sure enough,
   it worked. This was of course only for the editor and not for the front of the
   site.

 * It was because of cache. Solved.
