Ionic-framework: Ion-item paragraph text color

[Manduro]

Short description of the problem:

A p element inside an ion-item element is colored gray by default. This is fine but as it is the color cannot be overwritten using eg. <p primary>.

This, of course, is only an example. It applies to lots of other elements with color styles.

What behavior are you expecting?

I'd like to be able to add the primary color to _any_ element without adding extra classes.

<ion-list>
  <ion-item>
    <p primary>Ion item p which should be colored as primary but is not</p>
    <h3 primary>Ion Item h3 where coloring works as expected</h3>
  </ion-item>
</ion-list>

Which Ionic Version? 2.x

Thanks for the issue! This will be fixed in the beta 12 release. The color will be added the following way:

<ion-list>
  <ion-item>
    <p color="primary">Ion item p which should be colored as primary but is not</p>
    <h3 color="primary">Ion Item h3 where coloring works as expected</h3>
  </ion-item>
</ion-list>

With version ionic-angular 3.0.1 the following doesn´t work anymore

<h3 color="danger">Step 1 / 4</h3>

Please check or tell me what has been changed?

When using color on text elements, always add ion-text like this:

<h3 ion-text color="danger">Step 1 / 4</h3>

This is also mentioned in the changelog for v3: link
