Change font color of comments reply text?

[Lynn]

When people fill in a comment area on my website the text they type in is a light gray color. I would like to change that to black. Is this possible?

Just to be clear, when someone published their comment it shows up black. So that's good. This is only when you visit one of my posts and type in your comment (before publishing it). So if you visit the sample URL below and type in a reply... that is light gray and I'd like it to be black.

Any help?

The light color comes from this CSS at line 368 in style.css:

input, select, textarea {
    background-color: #fff;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    border-radius: 3px;
    box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #eee inset;
    color: #999;
    font-size: 14px;
    padding: 16px;
    width: 100%;
}

input, select, and textarea are all different types of form fields. If you change color in the code above, you'll be changing it for all form fields. If you want to change the text area only, break it out into its own CSS like the following, just make sure you place it in style.css after the above code.

`textarea {
color: #000;
}

Thanks, Victor, but when I changed that to #000 nothing happens?

Ex. http://www.newshorescoaching.com/en/leading-retirement-part-1-foundation/

Here is what my CSS says:

input,
select,
textarea {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #eee inset;
color: #000;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 16px;
width: 100%;
}
