title: Font Color in HTML Email - Gmail
body: <p>I know that I have to use inline CSS to style anything in an HTML email, but I am noticing an odd override that is occuring in gmail. I am trying to change the color of the text in a table row:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;tr style='color: #000; font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana, serif;'&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>but when I open this email in gmail, the font-family and black color is being overwrote by gmail stylings. I'm seeing this via Firebug:</p>
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/y9egK.png" alt="enter image description here" /></p>
  <p>That purple color is being used instead of the black I want, and the font family is defaulting to arial,sans-serif. Does anyone know of a way to safely override the styling that gmail is forcing on me?</p>
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  <p>I changed the color to a non-black color, i.e. #212a2c and the color changed correctly, but the font-family is still stuck on arial.</p>
