You're saying the same thing I am saying. What I am trying to get you to understand is that your CSS is not telling MediaWiki to display it the way you are wanting to. That is not something Wikia can fix from the CSS standpoint. They could go back and scan all parent elements to make sure your settings override, but that's simply not feasible. Your CSS is on the BODY element. The BODY is the topmost level and literally any other element can easily overwrite that.

The best thing to do is to also define the .modalWrapper's CSS and/or use !important to make sure it overrides the .modalWrapper defaults.

The default color for your theme is #3A3A3A and that is also the color the preview uses (as expected). If you change the final product, you must also ensure the preview is changed as well. That's your responsibility while maintaining the wiki as you changed the default; not Wikia.
