Issue Summary

The Bartik theme allows setting the "Footer background" (color); however, there appears to be no way to set the text color. In the themes/bartik/css/style.css file, #footer-wrapper has:

color: #c0c0c0;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.65);

replacing by "color: black;" immediately causes the text to show up. So it is not being overridden anywhere (or, at least, not successfully).

I just spent 2 hours confused because of this issue. The footer text wasn't showing up and it took me ages to figure out that it was because the footer text color and footer background color were the same. In the GUI there is no way to change the footer text color or even to see how it is set. Another, possibly related issue: when the footer background color is changed it also seems to affect the content background color.

Title:Bartik theme footer text white/grey on light background» Add color options for foreground text where background colors can be altered

Agreed, this is a silly bug and quite strait forward to fix, we need to add some color options for foreground text where the background colors can be changed.

Bumping to D8, think we should backport this also. I've been building tonnes of colorable themes this year with D7 and seriously this not that much work - mainly because we have the default colors already, we just need to shift them from being hard coded to colors.css and add them to color.inc.

First step is to identify all the places this can happen.
