 * I have been able to solve all my issues but one, the text a user inputs into 
   the text box is unreadable on my current theme. How do I change the text within
   the text box so it is readable?
 * Here is a screenshot:

 * Hi Alex,
 * Glad you were able to get things up and running with the styles. Here’s what 
   you need for the color of the inputs:
 *     ```
       form.give-form .form-row input[type=text].required, form.give-form .form-row input[type=text] {
           color: white;
       }
       ```
   
 * That makes sure the color is consistent whether the input is required or not.
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you! That worked for the first and last name, but the email text box is
   still using the old color.

 * OK, replace the previous with this:
 *     ```
       form.give-form .form-row input[type=text].required, form.give-form .form-row input[type=text], form.give-form .form-row input[type=email] {
           color: white;
       }
       ```

 * I really appreciate you working with me to get this solved. However, the new 
   code is not having any effect on the color of the text in the email box.

 * Sorry about that, add the `.required` class to the email one like this:
 *     ```
       form.give-form .form-row input[type=text].required, form.give-form .form-row input[type=text], form.give-form .form-row input[type=email].required {
           color: white;
       }
       ```
