Created attachment 271837 [details] Screenshot of the Bug The placeholder text is gray and hard to read. It should be a transparent white (rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)) when selected and focused to stand out on the blue row background.

I don't quite understand this placeholder text: > (modify the boxes below to add a value) Which boxes? Why do I need to modify them if I can just click on the placeholder and enter "fantasy"? I suggest: 1. To make placeholder text gray on a transparent background. 2. Replace the text with the computed (i.e. inherited) font-family value.

Why do I need to modify them if I can > just click on the placeholder and enter "fantasy"? I see, this placeholder text makes sense for Background -> Style and Background -> Box Shadow.
Created attachment 271846 [details] Patch I set the placeholder color to be semi-transparent white to make it distinguishable from user entered values, which are just white.

Do we use 0.8 value somewhere else?
