I am trying to change the style of a angular material input.

So far I managed to change the background-color using :

md-input-container {
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    background-color: #222;
}

The placeholder and label color using :

md-input-container.md-default-theme label,   
md-input-container.md-default-theme .md-placeholder {  
    color: #FDFE67 !important; 
} 

But I can't manage to change the line color under the text when we focus the input and the text color when we type in the input.

Here is the html input :

<md-content>
    <md-input-container>
        <label>{{isEnglish ? 'Search...' : 'Recherche...'}}</label>
           <input ng-model="searchInput" id="sInput" 
                  ng-change="filterCartoList(searchInput)" my-enter="filterCartoList(searchInput)">
    </md-input-container>
</md-content>

Edit: I managed to change the text color when typing this way :

md-input-container .md-input {
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.87);
border-color: rgba(254,253,103,0.82);
}

• javascript
• html
• css
• angularjs
• angular-material

• make a fiddle, this way is not clear and cannot help – Kristijan Iliev Commented Sep 15, 2015 at 12:08
• Just change the color of existing material input we can find there : material.angularjs/latest/#/demo/material.ponents.input After seing their example, "line color under the text when we focus the input and the text color when we type in the input." should be more clear to you, you can directly export their example to codepen. I also added the html input in the question – Ellone Commented Sep 15, 2015 at 12:50

This is the CSS selector used by Angular Material:

md-input-container:not(.md-input-invalid).md-input-focused .md-input {
    border-color: your_color_here;
}

<md-input-container style="position: relative; top:19px;">
                              <label style="border-color: white; color: white;">Email</label>
                              <input style="border-color: white; color: white;" >
                              </md-input-container>
