I performed a manual install of Discourse yesterday on a fresh DO droplet. On the latest version of Chrome on Android, I noticed that nearly everything from the user login, to post titles, search, and the admin area all now have white text boxes. When a user enters text in those boxes it is barely readable from being so light. This is not occurring on desktop. I have replicated the issue on another new site I built and here on meta.

Confirmed here, @awesomerobot can you have a look?

User login fields are also problematic across both light and dark themes on latest Android Chrome. Desktop is fine. Replicated on 3 separate Discourse forums that I run and here on meta.

Here’s a color fix. Mobile should now follow the input colors used in desktop (which have been correct).
