 * Hi,
 * Hope you can help. When adding a button in Gutenberg you can change the text 
   color . There are several colors to choose from. For example when I select light
   gray the hover function works fine, the text is changing from light gray to black
   when I move my mouse pointer over the button.
 * When I select custom color, I like to have the text color white and not light
   gray then the hover function does not work. The text stays white.
 * Hope somebody can help.
 * Thanks in advance, Wim

 * Hi there!
 * By default the block editor doesn’t touch the hover color, it just uses the same
   applied color.
 * I suspect that your theme is forcing a single hover color that doesn’t work in
   all situations. You should consider whether it’s appropriate to remove the specific
   hover color from your theme.
 * In the future, we have an issue to add support for custom hover colors. [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/4543](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/4543)
