Carousel Title color is hard to read

[supernovia]

Describe the bug
Carousel inherits title link color, but always displays a dark background. If the link color is dark, it makes things hard to see.
I am noticing this in two different themes so far. It seems to depend on the link color, and whether the title links have an explicit color set.

From Publisher Two:

From Stratford:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a Post Carousel block
2. Choose a theme with dark title colors

Screenshots
See above

Expected behavior
Have sufficient contrast between background and text, or allow users to customize block colors, re: #382

@iamtakashi do you know if there's someone we can ping about this? I'm not sure why we're getting dark text on a dark background. Asking only because I saw you were pinged in the other post, and because I know you're pretty awesome 🥇

@supernovia Thanks for the ping! I had a quick look and was able to replicate the issue. I think the CSS for the block needs to be improved to avoid the issue.

I think that @thomasguillot is on a leave now, maybe @laurelfulford could help?

Thanks for the ping! I made some tweaks in #553 that seem to fix for Stratford & IP2 -- there's a chance we'll need to adjust again if there's a theme out there with super specific styles that override even this fix, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it :)

Thank you!

Hm, this doesn't appear to be fixed yet for https://perigousse.wordpress.com/ @laurelfulford as noted at https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/font-color-post-carousel/#post-3548513

Any though as to what's going on there?
