Why is text in disabled form elements not rendered in black in Safari?

Question

I am trying to get the text inside disabled input elements to show up in black. This works in most browsers:

input[type="text"][disabled],
input[type="text"]:disabled {
  color: #000000;
}

In Safari (version 6.0.2), however, the text is slightly brighter. What puzzles me most is that when I select the text in my browser and look up the element information on my console it clearly shows:

rgba(0,0,0)

So in the code it is black but nonetheless it is rendered in something other than black. How is this possible?

Is this a Safari bug?

Thanks for any help in this matter.

Answer 1

Try:

-webkit-text-fill-color: #000000;

This worked in Safari 7.
