How to change color of Search field font

[bsaul 1]

I've changed the style and the wording, but when I add: color: #000000; it does not change the color of the font for "Search & Enter" within the search box. Any guidance appreciated...

You can try add in PageLines > Site Options > Custom Code > CSS Rules

.searchform .searchfield {color:red;}

change red color as you like

Thanks Batman but that did not work, sadly. From what I can see, it should, but it remains grey.

You currently have:

.searchform .searchfield {
	    color: black;
	}

Add to Dashboard > PageLines > Site Options > Custom Code under CSS Rules the following:

.searchform .searchfield {
	    color: red;
	}

But I want it to be black... Thanks, though

I'm looking at your site right now and the text in the search field is already black.

It is in Firefox for me, but not in Chrome. Will just tell the client it's not possible.

Hm, strange!

I see what you're talking about in Chrome. I have looked all through the CSS and I don't see how to change it. It must be some sort of inactive color effect because when you type in the box, the text is black (on Chrome). Hopefully you are able to convince your client that it displays that way to prompt a customer action.

LOL well I've told her that everything has been tried. The code will be somewhere but darned if I can find it. Oh well - one of those things... Thanks for trying too, Jenny
