# Figcaption Color Issue

 * I need the image captions to be white. I have found 10-40 other posts with this
   problem and they all suggest to add the following code
 * `.wp-block-image figcaption {
    color: #000000; }’
 * However that has NO effect on the image captions. I added it in the overall Customizing
   Additional CSS. If I place it inside the HTML section with the gallery it just
   places the fig code into the actual, visible caption.
 * Not really sure why there isn’t a quick way to change text color, but any help
   is highly appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffigcaption-color-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I opened an issue for this a long time ago, and it’s still not fixed. The core
   styles are more specific than the theme styles, so that is what wins.
    The CSS
   you listed would be for black text though. You can use the word `white` or `#
   FFFFFF`.
