Taking a look at this particular demo:

In the initial section, we observe that the text color changes simultaneously as the background color transitions, owing to inheriting properties from its parent container.
However, in the subsequent block, the text color only shifts after the transformation of its parent element concludes.
This can prove to be frustrating when working on projects with multiple transitions, often leading to unexpected outcomes. Is there any way around this?
HTML
<div class="block block-one">
<h2>Color Test</h2>
</div>
<div class="block block-two">
<h2>Color Again</h2>
</div>
CSS
.block {
width: 200px;
margin: 20px auto;
background-color: pink;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
transition: 1s;
}
h2 {
transition: 1s;
}
.block-one:hover {
background-color: wheat;
}
.block-one:hover h2 {
color: azure;
}
.block-two:hover {
color: azure;
background-color: wheat;
}
Edit
To provide some context: I encounter similar issues in practical scenarios where numerous CSS components have their own transition effects, causing them to 'chain' in an unusual manner. Consequently, specific rules and exceptions must be set up to achieve what would ideally be default behavior. Perhaps my query is more about the inherent nature of CSS and whether there are reasons why it functions this way.
