readthedocs theme: .rst-content code color defined twice, all code is black

[wodny]

After upgrading from mkdocs 1.0.4 to 1.1 all code blocks (including those inline) became black instead of still having the well known orange color. Browser inspector shows there are duplicated rules for .rst-content code color - #000 and #E74C3C. Is this is a bug? In my opinion previous colors looked much better and online readthedocs documents seem to still use orange.

In the most recent version of MkDocs we updated to a more recent version of the upstream's CSS. With a quick look in the inspector...

... we can see that both color definitions are found in theme.css which is the upstream file. We have made no edits to that file. However, we can also see that the MkDocs specific overrides in theme_extra.css do not override the color. We need to provide our own overrides for some things as the HTML output by MkDocs/Markdown is slightly different than the HTML output by Sphinx. If we need to add something to the overrides in theme_extra.css to better match upstream, a PR is always welcome (such a PR would ideally provide screenshots of both before and after in MkDocs as well as of the upstream Sphinx theme as justification for the change).

If you would like to know why the color is defined twice, that is a question to ask upstream.

I added the needs confirmation tag as I have not confirmed the behavior of the upstream Sphinx theme here.
