title: Difference in placeholder text color and select dropdown
body: <p>Hello I would like to ask a question regarding css style.</p>
  
  <p>I put the same color value in the placeholder text and also in a select dropdown. But the color that the browser shows differs. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone can explain why this happens?</p>
  
  <p>Here is an example:

  <p>edit: What I want to achieve is exactly the same text-color. I dont want that opacity effect that the placeholder has.</p>
