Change input placeholder color css

Стилизация HTML5 плейсхолдера с помощью CSS

В HTML5 есть замечательный атрибут — placeholder (текст-подсказка для элементов ввода). Задается он следующим образом:

Обычно этот текст отображается серым цветом, но допустим у нас есть необходимость стилизовать этот текст с помощью CSS.

Пока это можно сделать только в Google Chrome, Safari и Firefox, так как в Opera пока еще нет возможность задавать для него стили, а IE не поддерживает его вовсе.

CSS правила для webkit и mozilla:

то CSS правила не будут работать. И обратите внимание, что для webkit надо писать два двоеточия, а для mozilla — одно.

Еще несколько примеров:

/* стили для webkit */
#field2::-webkit-input-placeholder < color:#00f; >
#field3::-webkit-input-placeholder color:#090;
background:lightgreen;
text-transform:uppercase;
>
#field4::-webkit-input-placeholder font-style:italic;
text-decoration:overline;
letter-spacing:3px; color:#999;
>

/* стили для mozilla */
#field2:-moz-placeholder < color:#00f; >
#field3:-moz-placeholder color:#090; background:lightgreen;
text-transform:uppercase;
>
#field4:-moz-placeholder font-style:italic;
text-decoration:overline;
letter-spacing:3px;
color:#999;
>

Также следует заметить, что разные браузеры по разному поддерживают стили для плейсхолдера. Например в Firefox вы можете задать для него цвет фона, а в Chrome нет.

::placeholder

The ::placeholder CSS pseudo-element represents the placeholder text in an or element.

Try it

Only the subset of CSS properties that apply to the ::first-line pseudo-element can be used in a rule using ::placeholder in its selector.

Note: In most browsers, the appearance of placeholder text is a translucent or light gray color by default.

Color contrast

Contrast Ratio

Placeholder text typically has a lighter color treatment to indicate that it is a suggestion for what kind of input will be valid, and is not actual input of any kind.

It is important to ensure that the contrast ratio between the color of the placeholder text and the background of the input is high enough that people experiencing low vision conditions will be able to read it while also making sure there is enough of a difference between the placeholder text and input text color that users do not mistake the placeholder for inputted data.

Color contrast ratio is determined by comparing the luminosity of the placeholder text and the input background color values. In order to meet current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a ratio of 4.5:1 is required for text content and 3:1 for larger text such as headings. Large text is defined as 18.66px and bold or larger, or 24px or larger.

Usability

Placeholder text with sufficient color contrast may be interpreted as entered input. Placeholder text will also disappear when a person enters content into an element. Both of these circumstances can interfere with successful form completion, especially for people with cognitive concerns.

An alternate approach to providing placeholder information is to include it outside of the input in close visual proximity, then use aria-describedby to programmatically associate the with its hint.

With this implementation, the hint content is available even if information is entered into the input field, and the input appears free of preexisting input when the page is loaded. Most screen reading technology will use aria-describedby to read the hint after the input’s label text is announced, and the person using the screen reader can mute it if they find the extra information unnecessary.

label for="user-email">Your email addresslabel> span id="user-email-hint" class="input-hint">Example: jane@sample.comspan> input id="user-email" aria-describedby="user-email-hint" name="email" type="email" /> 

Windows High Contrast Mode

Placeholder text will appear with the same styling as user-entered text content when rendered in Windows High Contrast Mode). This will make it difficult for some people to determine which content has been entered, and which content is placeholder text.

Labels

Placeholders are not a replacement for the element. Without a label that has been programmatically associated with an input using a combination of the for and id attributes, assistive technology such as screen readers cannot parse elements.

Examples

Change placeholder appearance

This example shows some of the adjustments that you can make to the styles of placeholder text.

HTML

input placeholder="Type here" /> 

CSS

input::placeholder  color: red; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: italic; > 

Result

Opaque text

Some browsers (such as Firefox) set the default opacity of placeholders to something less than 100%. If you want fully opaque placeholder text, set opacity to 1 .

HTML

input placeholder="Default opacity" /> input placeholder="Full opacity" class="force-opaque" /> 

CSS

::placeholder  color: green; > .force-opaque::placeholder  opacity: 1; > 

Result

How to Change Input Placeholder Color Using CSS

An input placeholder specifies expected input from the user by giving hints or descriptions. Most hints and descriptions disappear when they specify something in the input field. By default, the color of the input placeholder is gray; however, in some conditions, it is important to modify the color of the input placeholder to increase its visibility.

In this manual, we will explain different methods to change the color of the input placeholder using CSS.

Method 1: Change Input Placeholder Color Using “::placeholder” Selector

CSS “::placeholder” selector is used to select the form elements with the placeholder text. It can be utilized to change the placeholder text. Additionally, you can use this selector to modify the color of the input placeholder.

In the place of “value”, you can set the color of the input placeholder according to our choice.

Let’s move to the practical example, where we will change the color of the input placeholder.

Example

To change the input placeholder color, firstly, we will create an input element using the tag and set the type of input as “text”. Next, set the text of the input placeholder as “Enter your name”.

The output of the given code is:

The default color of the input placeholder is shown in the above-given image.

Now, we move to the CSS and use “::placeholder” to access the text of the input placeholder and set its color as “rgb(17, 0, 255)”.

As you can see, the color of the added input placeholder is changed to blue:

There is another method to change the color of the input placeholder. Let’s check it out.

Method 2: Change Input Placeholder Color Using “::-webkit-input-placeholder” Pseudo-class Element

“::–webkit-input-placeholder” pseudo-class element primarily represents the placeholder text of a form element. It can be utilized by theme designers and developers to customize the look of the placeholder text. Additionally, by using the specified element user can modify the color of an input placeholder.

Syntax of the ::-webkit-input-placeholder is given as:

In the place of “value”, you can set the color of the input placeholder.

Let’s move to the example to understand the above-discussed pseudo-class element.

Example

In CSS file, use the “::-webkit-input-placeholder” pseudo-class element and assign the value of color as “rgb(255, 13, 13)”:

Here, you can see that the default color of the input placeholder is changed.

Conclusion

The color of the input placeholder is changed by using the “::placeholder” selector and “::–webkit-input-placeholder” pseudo-class element. Using this, you can change the default color of the input placeholder. In this article, we have explained the procedure related to changing the color of the input placeholder using CSS properties.
