Text area font color inherits

The text area font color inherits based on a setting in your css which overrides my theme’s form settings. I have a black site with white text so if you inherit from the surrounding div and the text area is white……..no one can see the text.

/*media all*/
.ccf-form-wrapper .field textarea {
min-height: 100px;
color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
}
