Contact Form color of entered text

Hello
I am using the White Template and customizing it. I would like to use a different color other than White for the text that the user types into the submission field-- the text on the page is black, but the text one types into the submission field is white. I'd like it to be black. How can I do this?
Actually, I'd also like it in Helvetica, I'd like everything on my site in Helvetica (!) and would like the Orange Color n the "White Template" also simply to be black. But one thing at a time!
Many thanks

Perhaps you have a link? All text colors in your gallery are set from your theme CSS stylesheet. Go to admin -> themes -> edit your theme -> edit theme stylesheet. You would be editing this:
.textpage_forminput {
/*Sets styles for textpage form input fields. Make sure you use "0x123456" instead of "#123456" for color style because of some flash restriction*/
}
More information here:

You can apply Helvetica as font, but it will only display for those visitors who have Helvetica installed in their system. Font-families work just like with html pages ... They display the first font if it exists for the visitor, if not, it selects the next font.

I've working with a copy of a Theme which has allowed me of course to modify it extensively. I go to the Stylesheet area and it is
Stylesheet:
Sets what CSS stylesheet to load into the gallery for text formatting
imagevue.css
Thats all there is. Are you saying I should drop code into this textfield and hit "save"?

I've been changing the fonts via the CSS file successfully, was just wondering if there is a way to do this in the Admin window without having to open the CSS in Dashcode, etc. Thanks

YES. You can edit the CSS directly from the admin theme stylesheet editor. Just remember to clear your cache after making a change, so that old CSS doesn't load in your browser.

I have a question concerning this. I changes some CSS settings and now the input field on my contact page is black. What do I do to make it white?

You probably changed the css of the theme stylesheet.
You can make it white by looking for .textpage_forminputback and changing it to:
.textpage_forminputback {
/* This specific class only supports the color style. Please use 0x color formatting instead of # */
color: 0xffffff;
}

Thanks Martin, I used FFFFFF instead of ffffff, didn't realize there was case sensitivity

There isn't... so must have been something else...
