[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Changing title font color

I’m attempting to change the font color of the titles in contact form 7. I made a css class that looks like this:

.text {
color: black;
}

Then I added the class to the title. For example:

<p><div class=”text”>Your Name (required)</div>
[text* your-name] </p>

This changes the font to black, but it still has a white drop shadow of some sort. With the background color I’m using, it looks really bad. What’s the best way to get rid of the drop shadow and just use plain text?

thanks
