Specifics of Inherited CSS Properties

What is the level of CSS specificity obtained by inherited properties? I read the W3 recommendation regarding CSS specificity, and therefore I understand how to calculate the various features of CSS rules that directly target the same element, but I don’t see any mention of the level of specificity set for the inherited attributes.

In particular, the problem I am facing is related to header elements, although it would be very interesting for me to understand this as a whole.

For example, here is an HTML snippet:

<h2>This should be black</h2>
<div class="all_red_text">
    <h2>This should be red</h2>
</div>

Now, if I include some CSS like this:

.all_red_text { color: red; }

I will get the expected result. On the other hand, if I css, which I included was

h2 { color: black; }
.all_red_text { color: red; }
