I want to change the color of specific place holder. I'm using many input fields for my project, problem is that in some section i need grey color for placeholder and in some section i need white color for placeholder. I have searched for this purpose and find this solution.

::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit, Blink, Edge */
    color:    #909;
}
:-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
   color:    #909;
   opacity:  1;
}
::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
   color:    #909;
   opacity:  1;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
   color:    #909;
}

But this code is implement on all input placeholder, and i don't need all input placeholder in same color. So can anyone please help me. Thanks in advance.

You need to assign the -input-placeholder to some classname and add that class to any input you need its placeholder to have this, just like this JS Fiddle

.change::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    /* WebKit, Blink, Edge */
    color: #909;
}
.change:-moz-placeholder {
    /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
    color: #909;
    opacity: 1;
}
.change::-moz-placeholder {
    /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
    color: #909;
    opacity: 1;
}
.change:-ms-input-placeholder {
    /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
    color: #909;
}
input[type="text"]{
    display:block;
    width:300px;
    padding:5px;
    margin-bottom:5px;
    font-size:1.5em;
}
<input type="text" placeholder="text1" class="change">
<input type="text" placeholder="text2">
<input type="text" placeholder="text3">
<input type="text" placeholder="text4"  class="change">
<input type="text" placeholder="text5">
