Text color on small and .small

[stephanandersen]

We have this rule that includes a color for the generic tag small and its helper-class .small

.small, small {
    color: #6d6e71;
    font-size: 80%;
    font-weight: 400;
}

I believe it was added to mute small text in headings
<h1>Customer Name <small>(#customer-number)</small></h1>

I like that behavior in headings actually, even though we got text-muted, but the generic small rule looks just wrong to me

We are not completely sure what your issue is, can you clarify?

Is your issue with small in plain text?
Is your issue that the text is faded?

We have this rule that includes a color...

My issue is that a color is specified on a generic tag, in this case small.
It means that <p class="text-success">I'm green and <small>I'm gray</small>.</p>.
There is an easy workaround, <p class="text-success">I'm green and <small class="text-success">I'm green</small>.</p>, but I would expect small to inherit if I set color on a parent.
