 * The response messages (“Thank you for your message. It has been sent”, etc.) 
   display in illegible WHITE text, on a light grey background. Same with the form
   labels, which I was able to change with CSS. But with developer tools in Chrome,
   I couldn’t find the code controlling the messages.
 * Not sure if this a conflict with my Theme, or some default with Contact Form 
   7 — white labels and text when 99% of sites nowadays use white backgrounds??
 * How can I change the message text to black or some other color?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmessage-styling%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
