What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1)  Go to linked JS fiddle, enter text in input text field
(2)  Observe text and caret are different colours *
(3)  Add a value and click submit to record for autofill
(4)  Refresh
(5)  Select autofill value from step 3
(6)  Click into autofilled text field value
(6)  Observe caret is black and near-invisible, while text is legible


What is the expected result?

The caret should always be the same colour as the text fill (or stroke?).


What happens instead?

The caret for autofill is always black, and hence invisible.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Even though the use case and CSS is hacky, it is a widely used approach to style Chrome autofill.  While there are many many requests for better CSS for autofill in Chrome, addressing those is a major piece of work.

So in the meantime, we have:

input:-webkit-autofill {
    color: #F88 !important;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: #8F8 !important;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px #00B inset;
}

Or similar.  Setting the caret to use the -webkit-text-fill-color computed/derived value or rule, (instead of the simple color value) would allow the use of darker theme colours with Chrome autofill, and sounds 'simpler(?)'.

There are tests in the repo that describe themselves as checking that the caret always has the same colour as the text.  


* a different colour for the cursor is a funky design 'feature' best kept secret from designers and 'designers' for their own good.  Regardless, being able to see the cursor (assuming the text is visible) is more !important.
