How do I set the global text color

I have a dark theme that is currently rendering all the text in all the components as black on a black background. The only one that is white is the menu which has been set through an override

I have tried several different things as you can see below. I am not sure but the docs reference a palette.text but that does not seem to work.

How do I set the global font color

import { createMuiTheme } from "material-ui/styles";

const dark = createMuiTheme({
    shadows: ["none"],
    type: 'dark',
    typography: {
      color: 'white',
    },
    palette: {
        background: {
            paper: '#000',
            default: '#000',
        },
        text: {
          default: '#fff',
        },
        textColor: '#fff',
        primary: {
          main: '#ff0000',
        },
    },

    root: {
      textDecoration: 'none',
    },

    overrides: {
    MuiPaper: {
      root: {
        boxShadow: 'none',
      },
    },
    MuiBackdrop: {
      root: {
        backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.75)',
      },
    },
    MuiAppBar: {
      root: {
        background: 'white',
        boxShadow: 'none',
      },
      colorPrimary: {
        backgroundColor: 'transparent'
      }
    },
    MuiIconButton: {
      root: {
        marginLeft: -12,
        marginRight: 20,
        color: 'white',
      }
    }
  }
});

export default dark;

))) Spend a couple of hours trying to figure it out… SO:

palette:  { 
      text: {
          primary: "#ffffff",
          secondary: "#00000"
    } 
}

color=“textPrimary” color=“textSecondary”

Thank you, Sleazer!
