 In the theme Twenty Twenty-Five, the pattern {{{twentytwentyfive/hidden-
 written-by}}} has a text and link color set on a group block that wraps
 some text content, the author name, and the categories.
 The color is accent 4.

 This text color does not have a high enough color contrast ratio against
 some of the background colors that can be applied with section styles.

 work-appropriately/


 == Testing instructions:

 Activate Twenty Twenty-Five.
 Reset any custom styles and template changes.
 Edit the single posts template.

 Select the main group block, or, the first group block that is **inside**
 the main.
 Open the Styles tab in the block settings.
 Apply Styles 1 to 5, one by one, and observe the color of the text
 "Written by author in categories" that is below the featured image.

 Then repeat the steps with all the site style variations, and you will
 find that in some combinations, the text color is the same as the
 background color, so it is invisible.


 -----
 My suggestion is to remove the text color from the markup. This will mean
 that the "Written by" content will fallback to using its default colors
 that are set in the variations.
 But it will also mean that the text color will **not** be lighter than the
 post content, which was the intention behind the color choice in the
 original design.
