How can I fully override Chromium disabled input field colours?

Question

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wCFBw/25/

input {
    color: black;
}

<input type="text" value="This is black" />
<input type="text" disabled="disabled" value="Why this is not black?" />

Answer 1

I don't know why that happens, but I suspect WebKit is trying to be smart with respect to letting the user know the <input> is disabled.

You can workaround this by also using the -webkit-text-fill-color property:

input.black {
    color: black;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: black
}

Please, make sure you're setting the colour to something that makes it apparent that the <input> is disabled.

Here's your demo, modified with the new property: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/wCFBw/38/
