 /wp-includes/theme.json, line 296

 The fallback theme.json file in in WordPress core includes explicit values
 for button text and background colors. These are applied in front-end CSS,
 causing buttons to be styled with these colors even when neither the theme
 nor the user has selected a value. This is an overly opinionated default
 that, due to CSS specificity rules, also risks breaking existing themes in
 a way that is not easy to diagnose or remedy.
