Post terms color in theme.json ignored if element link color is set

[bradhogan]

Description

The core/post-terms color is being overwritten by the element link.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

In your theme.json, add:

"styles": {
	"elements": {
		"link": {
			"color": {
				"text": "var(--wp--preset--color--contrast)"
			}
		}
	}
	"blocks": {
		"core/post-terms": {
			"color": {
				"text": "var(--wp--preset--color--accent)"
			}
		}
	}
}

Swap out the variables to whatever your theme uses.

Add a post terms block and notice the terms as links use the element link color and not the block core/post-terms color.

I think this may be true for any block that is a link by default (Except maybe the navigation blocks).
