Color for styled placeholder text is muted in Firefox

Question

I\'ve changed the color of my placeholders with the relevant vendor prefixes and it\'s displaying properly in other browsers, but for some reason Firefox mutes the colors a bit.

Answer 1

I think you are expecting this, just try this once,

input[type="text"]:hover::-moz-placeholder {
    color: #000000;
}

above is for text inputs if you need for all inputs remove [type='text']. Okay

Answer 2

The default placeholder style has an opacity different from 1, so that if you change the input color the placeholder automatically ends up with a slightly muted version of that color.

Try setting opacity: 1 in addition to the color.
