This is a style I apply to all the textblocks in the project which is in the App.XAML file. 

  <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Orange" />
        <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
    </Style>

But this style changes the Foreground colour of all my menu items and the buttons in my project, even if I specify the foreground color to these controls as black. Any solution to this issue?

My XAML for buttons is below:

<Button x:Name="BtnEdit" Content="Details" Click="BtnEdit_Click" Margin="10,0,0,0"  />

    Move your style from App.xaml App.Resources to MainWindow.xaml Window.Resources.
    If you need your style in more than one window or page then move it to a separate resource dictionary xaml file (add -> new -> wfp -> resource dictionary) as per this article:
    resource dictionarys
    Merge the dictionary into the Window.Resources not the Application.Resources as in the example! eg 

    <Window.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
             <ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
