Here you can choose the text and background colors.

NOTE: Accessibility criteria are built into the new editor to warn you when the text color combination becomes illegible for persons with reading impairments.

Typography:

The Media & Text block comes with a large serif font size by default but you can reset it to “Normal” to add regular text content and other blocks without overriding their styles. You may need to delete the default paragraph block that loads inside this block and add a new one to get fresh styles.

Dimensions:

You can change the padding inside the Media & Text block by using these sliders. One for the top and bottom and another for the sides.
