Form Styling

    Currently, there is no option for styling the labels for forms, neither in the Gutenberg editor or the Appearance panel. This means you’re stuck with whatever your default text color is. Targeting the labels with custom CSS is also challenging (I’ve yet to figure out how to do it).

    This really speaks to a larger problem with Gutenberg at the moment, where certain elements of a block are able to be styled, but not others. The goal with Gutenberg should be to make all elements of a block styled using the UI so you’re not stuck trying to use custom code. It has improved with time, but every spot that doesn’t have an editing option creates a headache for those who aren’t code experts.

    WordPress itself doesn’t have any built-in forms.

    What plugin are you using for the forms?

    My mistake James. I didn’t realize the form block I was using wasn’t a standard Gutenberg block, as the icon looks just like the Gutenberg ones. I managed to properly target it. I’ll mark this as resolved.
