How/Where to change 'text field' color?

[musact]

Hello, I’m looking for help on what code to add to the child theme to get the ‘text field’ (I mean the color of the text when someone inputs text in a box) color to change. Right now my text I think is showing up as #bbb, accordion to my inspect element.
Thanks!

PS You guys have made an amazing theme, overall it works excellently, and you did a great job of formatting text in buddy press, bbpress and woo commerce. Thank You.

There’s actually several places. Search box is one color, activity is another. But for the most part they should all be #444444 by default.

Try this

COPY CODE

.standard-form input[type=text] {
color: #444444;
}

Cool, I guess I should have said that this is for the Contact Form 7 form. The stuff I saw on the wordpress.org forums said that this code was handled by the theme.
I added that code you just provided to the child theme, and it didn’t make the change of color in the Contact Form 7 text field.

Me again, I think this might be better and catch any ‘type’ of input…

COPY CODE

.wpcf7 textarea, .wpcf7 input[type] {
color: #444444;
}

Sorry for all the answers.

Woot!
That did it.
I also added .wpcf7 input[type=”name”], .wpcf7 input[type=”subject”] to change those fields.
Thanksthanksthanks!

.wpcf7 textarea, .wpcf7 input[type] {
color: #444444;
}

This code works perfectly on all the fields! I won’t use the other stuff.
Thanks!
