How to change the color of the placeholder?

[cfclaudio]

I have tried adding .ce-paragraph[data-placeholder]:empty::before { color: red; } to my stylesheet but it does not work.

Try adding !important to the def. That's what worked for me. Without it, no.

.ce-paragraph[data-placeholder]:empty::before { color: red !important }
