Hi!

Is it possible to change the color of the placeholder in the select menu?

Hey @Tine,

what do you mean by “Select menu”? Where? Do you mean in the form element, using the Select field? If so, then I suppose the “Placeholder typography” should change it there as well.

Or am I mistaken? Please let me know.

Thanks,
