How to Change font color on search form placeholder text?

[spiezz]

I've looked all over for this bad boy, but still haven't managed to find it. Why oh why is the default color light gray???

Its in header on top right. I've tried
.search-form-label
.searchform-5d12afb6e65127
#searchform-5d12afb6e65127
.77057941
etc.
Looked in css, simple hooks, etc.
No go.

Ideas? And where is placeholder text entered anyhow? Standard Genesis thing??

No, it's not a standard Genesis thing. It's a standard browser thing. Browsers have their own built-in style sheets, also.

The newest version of Genesis doesn't even have styles any more. They've all been removed.

Your child theme does not have a style for placeholder text either, so the color you're seeing comes from the browser styles.

To change the color, add the following CSS to your child theme's style sheet:

::placeholder {
    color: red;
}

Change the "red" to your color of choice.
