Removing input background colour for Chrome autocomplete?

Question

On a form I'm working on, Chrome is auto-filling the email and password fields. This is fine, however, Chrome changes the background colour to a pale yellow colour.

The design I'm working on is using light text on a dark background, so this really messes up the look of the form - I have stark yellow boxes and near-invisible white text. Once the field is focused, the fields return to normal.

Is it possible to stop Chrome changing the colour of these fields?

Answer 1

You can change input box styles as well as text styles inside input box:

Here you can use any color e.g. white, #DDD, rgba(102, 163, 177, 0.45).

But transparent won't work here.

/* Change the white to any color */ input:-webkit-autofill, input:-webkit-autofill:hover,  input:-webkit-autofill:focus,  input:-webkit-autofill:active{     -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 30px white inset !important; } 

Additionally, you can use this to change the text color:

/*Change text in autofill textbox*/ input:-webkit-autofill{     -webkit-text-fill-color: yellow !important; } 

Advice: Don't use an excessive blur radius in the hundreds or thousands. This has no benefit and might put processor load on weaker mobile devices. (Also true for actual, outside shadows). For a normal input box of 20px height, 30px ‘blur radius’ will perfectly cover it.

Answer 2

I have a better solution.

Setting the background to another color like below didn't solve the problem for me because I needed a transparent input field

-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px white inset; 

So I tried some other things and I came up with this:

input:-webkit-autofill, input:-webkit-autofill:hover, input:-webkit-autofill:focus, input:-webkit-autofill:active {     transition: background-color 5000s ease-in-out 0s; }
