Hi, how can I force the color of the text in a @Composable function (with a content: @Composable () -> Unit argument) like in the Button Composable ?

Wrap its invocation in sub Material theme and override relevant props? Just a thought...

Text in the Material UI is displayed with color from LocalContentColor, and more generally is fully styled via LocalTextStyle. Providing new compositionLocals for those allows parents to style the text of their Children.

ProvideTextStyle() { } is a helpful shortcut for applying new styles for children Text() composables like this

Yep, this is how Button is implemented:

That is, you would wrap your content block with ProvideTextStyle and pass whatever TextStyle you want to value (replace MaterialTheme.typography.button in the example above)
