Is there anyway to style the color of a placeholder in a text input? Right now I'm stuck with the boring default grey.

You sure can http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/style-placeholder-text/.

(from the above article)

::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    color: red;
}

:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
    color: red;  
}

::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
    color: red;  
}

:-ms-input-placeholder {  
   color: red;  
}
