Change Form Placeholder Text Color?

Hey All, I feel like I have done this before but I can’t figure it out. I have a form where the background of the cell is almost the same color as the placeholder text. I need to change the color of that placeholder text so its actually visible. Is this possible? Thanks, Dave

hi @blh1234 you have to use variables.

1. create colour variable
2. give it a name
3. use it on your placeholder
   Done

Thank you so much ! This doesnt seem to work for the submit button or text written in by user…

Hi @blh1234 just remove background image (svg) you have applied to input and button and all will start working as expected.
