There’s some Sass in `tagging.scss` with the `!important` flag overriding custom CSS. Is this intended or should it be changed so I don’t have to make my overrides _!evenmoreimportant_?

Are you referring to `.extra-info-wrapper .discourse-tag` only, or are there others? @neil do we need this?

I removed the `!important` from those extra-info-wrapper colors and it didn’t break anything that I could see.
