How to remove default style of header in wordpress metabox

Question

I have the problem which when I create a header in my wordpress plugin metabox, it always apply the default style on my header:

even when I apply, my own style, <h3 style="background-color: black; color:blue">Text Block Settings</h3> , it only changes the text color but not the background color, why??

Answer 1

This seems like a CSS Specificity issue although without access to the source code I can't tell what's going on.

Since it seems like you want a very hack-ey fix, try <h3 style="background:black !important; color:blue">Text Block Settings</h3> and see if that works (normally you should avoid using !important but if this is a one-off override it can be alright).
