Change the default color of materialize.css input fields. I have attached screenshot

Question

I have tried to add custom css, but not worked. I need to change the color of text after selecting the input fields.

<div class="input-field form-group">
    <input id="first_name" class="active validate form-control" name="first_name" type="text" value="">
    <label for="first_name" class="mat-label">First Name</label>
</div>

Solution 1

An easier way, though you should edit the SCSS files. But if you want in quick then use the following css. I have used royalblue color here, you can use any hex color.

For bottom border

input:focus {
  border-bottom: 1px solid royalblue !important;
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 royalblue !important;
}

For label color

label.active {
  color: royalblue !important;
}

Solution 2

For the line color, I was able to change the default green to black with the css below.

input:not([type]):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="text"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="password"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="email"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="url"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="time"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="date"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="datetime"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="datetime-local"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="tel"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="number"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), input[type="search"]:not(.browser-default):focus:not([readonly]), textarea.materialize-textarea:focus:not([readonly]) {
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 black;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 black;
}

Solution 3

This green is actually $secondary-color

So in SASS, here is how it can be changed:

$secondary-color: #FEBD09;

@import "materialize-css/sass/components/variables";

Solution 4

When using Sass, you can change the color scheme of your site extremely quickly.

To change the style of input/form you will only have to modify the variables under 10. Forms: https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/blob/master/sass/components/_variables.scss

After changing the values, you need to build the new CSS file using SASS command line

Please edit your post and add the relevant code - otherwise it will be hard to tell what you need to change to get the desired result.

Hello Filburt, I have attached screenshot and marked it. Please check.

Can you see screenshot now?

The thing is the primary color is supposed to be materialize-red but it's all green everywhere... That's quite confusing

[SyberKnight]

curious: what's the "input:not([type])" for?
