Remove default foreground color from form elements

Specifying a default foreground color for the form elements can be problematic when users (often with visual impairments) use a darker OS/browser theme. Also, the color set on the form elements is quite opinionated, so developers tend to change it anyway. Ref: h5bp#1390. Close: h5bp#1390.
