 * Hello – I am trying to make this website as Accessible as possible (to special
   needs people). So the Contact form on this page uses the default field label 
   color and background and this generates ‘low contrast’ errors on the WAVE Accessibility
   test ([https://wave.webaim.org/](https://wave.webaim.org/)). So the field labels
   seem perfectly viewable to me but I guess they are not. What would be the CSS
   for making the label text black and the form background white? That’s about as
   high-contrast as you can get. Thank you for any help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faccessibility-errors-with-default-field-text-background%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@prettybiddy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prettybiddy/),
 * It looks like there could be a styling conflict between the site theme and the
   forms. To fix this, please try the following custom CSS snippet:
 *     ```
       div.wpforms-container-full .wpforms-form .wpforms-field-label {
   
       color: #000000 !important;
   
       }
   
       div.wpforms-container-full {
   
       background-color: #ffffff !important;
   
       }
       ```
   
 * And in case it helps, here’s a tutorial from WPBeginner on [how to add custom CSS like this to your site](http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/).
 * Hope this helps!

 * Thank you – that worked. I also changed the color of the “required” star from
   red to black as WAVE issued a warning about that as well.
