I have needed to change color or background color because I am using twentyfifteen theme with a colored sidebar and without change white date text is placed on a slightly off-white background. The suggestion from ales-bonelli doesn’t do anything in .72. I found that there is no parent div with “event-list” so I made this change to event-list.css instead, and it works! Sorry I can’t show you, I am working with a localhost wordpress.

.event-date {
       color: black;  /*P Dixon Fix for twentyfifteen theme */
}

Does this problem need a proper sort-out?

Hm, the event-list div is still there so it should be still working.
