NetBox version

v3.0.2

Expected Behavior

The prefilled, assisting text should be much lighter, thus less eye catching.

Observed Behavior

The placeholder text and the data text have almost the same color.
This makes the form look like it is completed with data while it is not

Jeremy, thx for taking care of it...
