I can’t make nice looking placeholders in Safari. Here is what it looks like.

Codepen: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/RLWrrK

.form-control {
  height: 45px;
  padding: 15px;
  font-size: 16px;
  color: #8c8c8c;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  border: 1px solid #d1d1d1;
  box-shadow: none;
  font-weight: 300;
}

.form-control:focus {
  box-shadow: none;
  color: #793a93;
  border-color: #793a93;
}

.form-control::-moz-placeholder {
  color: #8c8c8c;
  opacity: 1;
}

.form-control:-ms-input-placeholder {
  color: #8c8c8c;
}

.form-control::-webkit-input-placeholder {
  color: #8c8c8c;
}

.form-control:focus::-moz-placeholder {
  color: #793a93;
  opacity: 1;
}

.form-control:focus:-ms-input-placeholder {
  color: #793a93;
}

.form-control:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder {
  color: #793a93;
}
