 * Find a way to do your custom CSS without `!important` and things will go much
   smoother.
 * Often you can simply increase the selector specificity to properly override the
   theme.
 * Remove the important from this:
 * `body, button, input, select, textarea { color: #d8d8d8 !important;}`
 * and then this will work on the form:
 *     ```
       input[type=email], input[type=email]:focus, 
       input[type=text], input[type=text]:focus, 
       input[type=url], input[type=url]:focus, 
       textarea, textarea:focus {
           color: #000;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you want to restrict that to the testimonial form, use this instead:
 *     ```
       .strong-form input[type=email], .strong-form input[type=email]:focus, 
       .strong-form input[type=text], .strong-form input[type=text]:focus, 
       .strong-form input[type=url], .strong-form input[type=url]:focus, 
       .strong-form textarea, .strong-form textarea:focus {
           color: #000;
       }
       ```

   the font colors on the testimonials.

    .strong-view.default .add css selector here

 * Yes, both the form and the testimonials inherit most of their style from the 
   theme.
 *     ```
       /* submit button */
       .strong-form input[type=submit], .strong-form input[type=submit]:hover {
           color: #000;
       }
       ```
