 * Hello,
 * When people type into the form on my website, it is very difficult to read because
   it’s a light grey. Is it possible to update the font color to make it darker?
   Is it possible to change the color of the submit button from grey to the color
   of my branding?
 * Thank you,
 * Peter

 * The actual look of CF7 forms on your website will depend largely on the current
   WordPress theme used and the CSS styling that theme applies to standard HTML 
   form elements. To change the style of your CF7 forms you would need to edit the
   CSS style sheets used by your WordPress theme.
 * See [Styling Contact Form 7](http://kb.cf7skins.com/styling-contact-form-7-forms/)
   Forms for a general explanation of styling CF7 forms using CSS.
 * If you find you need more detailed advice, after reading and working through 
   the above link, please include a link to your Contact Form 7 form, so others 
   here can examine your form in detail using [Firebug ](https://getfirebug.com/)
   or [Chrome Dev Tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/) 
   to understand the CSS used for your CF7 form elements and provide you with a 
   possible solution.
