The text under the fields users enter when joining a Discourse site is a nice easy shade of grey.

However, the text under custom user fields is black.

While this is a minor thing (and easily fixed with this CSS), it is a little bit jarring.

```plaintext
// fixes descriptor text/instructions under UCFs
.user-fields .controls .instructions {
    color: var(--primary-medium)
}

```
