 About two months ago I started having a problem with link colors on my
 website, I believe the problem started to occur after upgrading to
 WordPress 6.7, however I cannot be sure since WordPress upgraded
 automatically.

 When I change link colors with the setting

 {{{
 Editor > Styles > Edit Styles > Styles > Colors > Link
 }}}

 Color is not updated for all links on the website, links written inside
 the post body remain the same (inside the paragraph/heading element).

 When I check CSS in my browser, I can see that another CSS selector is
 overriding the link color I set.

 I tried changing my theme to Twenty Twenty-Five and link colors seem to
 work fine. I am using Twenty Twenty-Three version 1.6 and WordPress 6.7.1.
 I already tried to disable all my plugins, but the problem persisted.

 **How to reproduce**

 I managed to reproduce it with official docker images, however I suppose
 that it will work exactly the same with a bare metal installation.

 Pull images docker.io/library/mariadb:latest and
 docker.io/library/wordpress:latest, create containers with those two
 images, put them in the same network and set environment variables so that
 WordPress can connect to the database, publish WordPress http port.

 - Connect to the wordpress container using your web browser (I am using
 Firefox 133.0.3 Linux)
 - Fill the setup form
 - Log in
 - Set TwentyTwenty Three as your WordPress theme
 - Open the default post and add create some links inside the post body
 - Go to site editor and change the links color
 - If you now open up the post you will see that color of the links inside
 the post body did not change

 (Note that WordPress version inside container is 6.7.2 and theme version
 is 1.6)
