 * Hi,
    Great plugin, I really mean that… My issue relates to the colour scheme 
   used in the datepicker. It seems to use a very dark background with a very dark
   text making it all well… very dark and difficult to read.
 * I’ve adjusted the typography colours on my version of wordpress (4.9.7) but nothing
   seems to alter the colour scheme of the calendar.
 * It’s probably something very simple but I’m just not sure where to look.
 * Thanks in anticipation.

 * Thanks for the kind words, that means a lot to us. 🙂
 * The default datepicker is supposed to be styled to be a dark text on a light 
   white/light gray background. Does this issue persist when you switch your theme
   to the default theme? This sounds to me like your theme is adding some styling
   to this component. You can use the Health Check plugin to verify this without
   affecting your live experience: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
 * If switching themes is not an option and you do find that the problem is your
   theme, you can usually override whatever setting is changing this using some 
   CSS. We have a guide on where to put CSS to control the styling of Caldera Forms
   here: [https://calderaforms.com/doc/adding-custom-style-caldera-forms/](https://calderaforms.com/doc/adding-custom-style-caldera-forms/)
 * I also took the liberty of pulling up a guide on how to write background color
   CSS here, which is the first thing I would attempt when trying to override this
   setting: [https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-color.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-color.asp)
 * I hope this is helpful, let us know if there’s any additional questions.
