 * Hi, since the last update of Gutenberg, customized colours of link text are overridden.
   I tried in troubleshooting mode and this only happens when Gutenberg plugin is
   switched on.
 * For example: My standard link colour is red, so all links will be red now, even
   if I assigned a specific different colour to some individual links via “edit 
   site”. By the way, specific link colours set with html in single posts are **
   not** overridden.

 * Hi [@immaterial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/immaterial/) – are you able
   to tell me more about how the specific colors are set ‘in edit site’ ?
 * If you could share screenshots or videos that would be extra helpful.

 * Hi, that’s how I assigned black colour to post titles (which are links). This
   made post titles black until the last Gutenberg update came into effect.

 * I fixed this using CSS in the meanwhile, but I would prefer it worked properly
   from within the site editor.
