 By default, `.placeholder` css class will be added. You can override default by passing the `customClass` option:
 ```js
-$('input, textarea').placeholder({customClass: 'my-placeholder'});
+$('input, textarea').placeholder({ customClass: 'my-placeholder' });
 ```
 
 You’ll still be able to use `jQuery#val()` to get and set the input values. If the element is currently showing a placeholder, `.val()` will return an empty string instead of the placeholder text, just like it does in browsers with a native `@placeholder` implementation. Calling `.val('')` to set an element’s value to the empty string will result in the placeholder text (re)appearing.

-I’d suggest sticking to the `#aaa` color for placeholder text, as it’s the default in most browsers that support `@placeholder`. If you really want to, though, you can [style the placeholder text in some of the browsers that natively support it](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2610497/change-an-inputs-html5-placeholder-color-with-css/2610741#2610741).
