[Bug]: Blockbase child themes & incompatible style variations #6941
Description
Quick summary
Jackson's Charcoal style variation has white background text and Jackson has a white background. This isn't easy to read.

There are several more examples of this and similar issues with other blockbase child themes - skivers has the same style variations and they just change a thin button outline.
The style variations don't belong to the individual themes but rather their parent theme - blockbase. The variations were added and named in #6167 but only started becoming visible in child theme after WP6.2 was merged to wpcom (see fbhepr%2Skers%2Sjcpbz%2Sjc%2Qvapyhqrf%2Spynff%2Qjc%2Qgurzr%2Qwfba%2Qerfbyire.cuc%3Se%3Qn8028o5p%23685-og & D104877-code for the merge and WordPress/gutenberg#46554 for the initial GB change)
Steps to reproduce
- Activate the Jackson theme
- In the site editor use the GS sidebar to set the style variation to charcoal
