Paste this into the head of your page. Right above the </head> tag.
Alter to your need.
<style>
::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* Chrome/Opera/Safari */
color: pink;
}
::-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 19+ */
color: pink;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder { /* IE 10+ */
color: pink;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
color: pink;
}
</style>

You may need to add !important to the attributes in order to override default styling built into the frame work.
color: pink!important;
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I think you need to have a space between 'pink' and '!important'.

Share a link to the page so we can diagnose. Might need to use an ID in the targeting.

surely that code has to go in the header of the html-element for the form, not on the page header
