They are used to setting the color value when they set the background-color (although not always the other way around) It's extremely common to mess that up. This would be even worse in some ways, since it would only be relevant for a small minority of elements (inputs with placeholders set). And because it would be so uncommon, when it *would* come up, normal authors would be unlikely to know the correct pseudo-class/element to fix it. So I do think it would be valuable to not require extra declarations from authors. On the other hand, the problem will only come up if the author uses placeholders *and* colors inputs, so its practical impact is limited. And of course the author will see it during even cursory testing, unlike relying on default background-color. So it's not really critical, but would be nice to have anyway.
