    Hi,

    I find topic:
    https://forum.qt.io/topic/90176/change-qlineedit-placeholder-text-color

    I tried @SGaist method and it is very good, but when I tried:

        QPalette pal;
        pal.setColor(QPalette::Text, QColor(0,0,0));
        setPalette(pal);
    

    I don't get real black (0,0,0), but something like gray.
