  I have my Haven theme color palette set so that white text prints over a darkish background image. Black everywhere else. Expected behavior. But a user entering their email address in the Jetpack blog follow widget can’t see what they’re typing (white text on white bkgrnd)! Ridiculous.

  Any ideas on custom css to fix this, or other solution?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @garyatmtstreammedia, it looks like you are using WordPress but you are not hosted here at WordPress.com. For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help in the WordPress.org Support Forums.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  I did take a quick look at your site and the following will make the input text in the follow widget email field black. You can edit the color.

  #subscribe-email input {
      color: #000;
  }

  If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten.
