color contrast - placeholder

[weboverhauls]

The placeholder text should pass WCAG color contrast requirements (accessibility), especially since it's a required format.

The pink (#ffc2cd) fails color contrast with a ratio of Contrast Ratio: 1.52:1; the requirement is 4.5:1.

Suggest #e9002b which is more reddish but has a passing ratio of 4.67:1.

Note: browsers' default placeholder does not pass WCAG AA requirements either. One must use CSS (extensions) to correct, but then the text may appear as the value (entered content), thus the paradox of usable/accessible placeholders.
