Xamarin: How do I override a label style class for all labels?

In a nuget package there is an Xaml file with:

<Style x:Key="LabelBase" TargetType="Label">
    <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Green" />
</Style>

<Style
    BasedOn="{StaticResource LabelBase}"
    Class="Primary"
    TargetType="Label">
</Style>

In the current project App.xaml I have:

<Style TargetType="Label">
   <Setter Property="TextColor" Value="Red" />
</Style>

The ResourceDictionary has MergedWith="XAMLFILE", the nuget .xaml file ResourceDictionary.

In the AbsoluteLayout of a page I have a label

<Label
    Grid.Row="0"
    FontSize="45"
    HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
    StyleClass="Primary"
    Text="Text Value"
    VerticalOptions="Center" />

How do I override the Primary StyleClass in my projects App.Xaml to get the text color to inherit red without creating a new styleclass?

If you want that Theme to be applied to all the labels just remove the class and it should work :

<Style
BasedOn="{StaticResource LabelBase}"
TargetType="Label">
</Style>

See to it you do not have a key and that the style is in APP.xaml

Good luck

Feel free to revert.
