I tried to follow the following topic, but unsuccessfully. Change an HTML5 input's placeholder color with CSS
I tried to colorize my placeholder, but it still stay grey on Chrome 17.0.963.56 m.
HTML
<input type='text' name='test' placeholder='colorize placeholder' value='' />
CSS
INPUT::-webkit-input-placeholder,
INPUT:-moz-placeholder {
color:red;
}
input[placeholder], [placeholder], *[placeholder]
{
color:green !important;
}
JSfiddle
On Firefox 10.0.2, it works well.
You forget a :
.
Because of that, the whole selector got corrupted and didn't work.

Edit: Seems like (after an update?) this doesn't work anymore, try this:
input::-webkit-input-placeholder{
color:red;
}
input:-moz-placeholder {
color:red;
}
Note: don't mix the vendor prefix selectors (-moz, -webkit, -ms, ...). Chrome for example won't understand "-moz-" and then ignores the whole selector.
Edit for clarification: To make it work in all browsers, use this code:
::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color:red;
}
::-moz-placeholder {
color:red;
}
::-ms-placeholder {
color:red;
}
::placeholder {
color:red;
}
