First, you need to understand that two different implementations are in use. They are pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements.
Now, that you are aware of the types of implementation, let’s go through the code.
::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit, Blink, Edge */ color: #0000ff; } :-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */ color: #0000ff; opacity: 1; } ::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */ color: #0000ff; opacity: 1; } :-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */ color: #0000ff; }
The above code will enable you to color the input’s HTML5 placeholder. For each browser, there is a different implementation. For example,
All the above pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements are necessary to handle the required result.
Also, you need to make sure that the selectors are kept separately. The reason is simple: If any one of the selectors is invalid, it will make the group invalid as well, making your code unusable.
There are some special cases that you need to make sure don’t happen.
To understand the whole concept, you can watch it live here. The code is put together by Sk8erPeter.

Working with HTML5 placeholders is not easy at all. There are different implementation for different browsers which makes life of web developers harder as usual. Great guide, btw!
