If it's up to the browser to decide, that's about as good for me as no solution. I'd still be stuck writing my big long selector list just to be sure I know what's going to be styled with certainty.

Where `type=color` _is_ supported, I still also style it similar to the other “textish” inputs.

I also style `<select>` similar to “textish” (_not_ similar to button-like styles at all) so it fits in better in forms surrounded by other “textish“ inputs, but I don't think it should be included in “textish” because it has other considerations like the arrow. You can see an example of styling `<select>` like an input rather than a button on this form: http://staticresource.com/ic-template/ic-form.html
