change color inside a <text> element

[BananaQuaalude]

I know how to change the background of a text element, but how do I change the color of the text inside it?

I want red numbers to show up in certain <text> elements in the form.

<style type="text/css">
textarea {color:white; background-color:dimgray; font-family:arial, sans-serif;}
</style>

dimgray is not a valid color name. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#color-units for a list of valid colors.

You can blame Jona on that one I got it off his site and didnt bother to edit it.

I'm not blaming anyone. Simple pointing out that it is not valid and should not be used. Use the hex value, instead.

Okay- but how do I tie that to my text field?
