 * Hey I’m using this plugin for our website. We have noticed that the text boxes
   are very light. Is it possible to darken them some?

 * Copy and paste this into the style.css file of your theme.
 *     ```
       .wpcf7 input[type=text], .wpcf7 textarea {
       	border: 1px solid #A0A0A0;
               background:#CCE5FF;
       }
       ```
   
 * This sets the border width and color and the background line sets the background
   color of the test areas (blue in this example). You can change any of these to
   suit your needs.
