 * Currently when I add a “Call to Action” block it loads in with a Text Color, 
   Button Background and Button Text color already selected. However I have styled
   how I want the default CTA to look using CSS but having these preselected values
   is basically over ridding my CSS. So my clients end up having to add the CTA 
   then click through a bunch of panels to removed these preselected colors which
   is a lot of unnecessary steps for them.
 * Is there a filter to remove these pre-selections when the block loads? If not,
   why does the plugin make assumptions about what colors the blocks should instead
   of letting the theme developers decide what the default blocks should look like?
 * Side note this is on Genesis Blocks Pro v 1.5.1
