Required Input Box Text Red

I set the required field's message to RED. When I type in the input box the text is RED. I was able to change the colour using the code below in my CSS but that only seems to work on one field. Is there a way to make sure the data entered in the required fields does not turn red.

input.required { font-size: 11px; color: #004f39; font-weight: bold;}

Thank you.

Hi,

I believe the required text has another calss and not this one, did you look at other posts how did they do it ?
