How can I change the color of text in checkout fields?

Topic summary

  • Issue: In the Shopify checkout, address autocomplete (Google suggestions) text appears white, making it hard to read. Changing form field background options only allows white or transparent.

  • Attempts/constraints: Setting fields to transparent fixes most cases but causes a visibility issue when selecting a U.S. state (dropdown text becomes problematic).

  • Desired outcome: Make all form field text (including Google address suggestions and state dropdown) consistently black.

  • Attachments: A screenshot is provided and appears central to understanding the visibility problem.

  • Status: No solution or settings/workarounds are provided yet; the request remains open for assistance.

Hello. I ran into a problem in my checkout. When typing in an address, the Google suggestions are white. The only two options I see to change the form fields is either white or transparent. When I change it to transparent, it only becomes an issue when choosing a state in the US. I would just like the text to be just black in all of the form field. Any assistance would be great.

Thanks,
