to apply colors to TeX stringsMotivation and Explanation: Why and how do your changes improve the library?
This makes it easier to color parts of TeX mobjects; for example users can define custom TeX commands in their template (like
\newcommand{\X}{\ensuremath{\textcolor{cyan}{X}}}
to allow\X
to produce a cyan math-mode X).This also avoids issues like #3492, #3548 by allowing TeX itself to apply the colors.

Further Information and Comments
Render of passing test case (upper is inheriting color, lower is preserving it):
Note that, without further changes to the preamble / SVG reading, any TeX not explicitly colored is black and thus invisible against the default background.
