Contact form 7; styling the default text ("placeholder" operator on form builder)

[aap]

Hi
I am able to style the font and the weight of the message the pre-populates textarea boxes using;

.wpcf7 textarea {
font-family: ‘Open Sans’;
font-weight: 800;
font-size: 0.8em;
color: black;
line-height: 1.6;
background-color: transparent;

}

However, it displays as a light grey, even though I can inspect and see the text in the HTML is a different color. This seems to be done by the browser? Anyway, how can I style the color of the placeholder text on a textarea ?

Thanks
