The MenuItem component contains label and description text that should be @color-base initially and changes color when selected or active. While the color of the description text is explicitly set in the code, the color of the label text is not, so it may inherit colors in an undesirable way. For example, when TypeaheadSearch is used in Vector, the anchor tag color style (@color-primary) is inherited by the label text.

Acceptance criteria

• Label text has color explicitly set
• Active and selected color styles still apply properly
