Change color of matInput

Simply assign color to these classes

    .mat-focused .mat-form-field-label {
      /*change color of label*/
      color: white !important;
     }
    
     .mat-form-field-underline {
      /*change color of underline*/
      background-color: white !important;
    } 
    
    .mat-form-field-ripple {
     /*change color of underline when focused*/
     background-color: white !important;;
    }

If you put the form inside a div and give it a class then use ::ng-deep className {...} you wont override all the "mat-form-field" in the application.

::ng-deep .create-account-form {
  .mat-focused .mat-form-field-ripple {
    /*change color of underline when focused*/
    background-color: @color-blue !important;
  }
  .mat-focused .mat-form-field-label {
    /*change color of label when focused*/
    color: @color-blue !important;
   }
}

<form class="create-account-form">
      <mat-form-field class="input-size">
        <input type="email" mdInput formControlName="email" placeholder="Email" required matInput>
      </mat-form-field>
</form>

You can use plain css

 ::ng-deep .mat-focused .mat-form-field-label {
  /*change color of label*/
  color: green !important;
 }

 ::ng-deep.mat-form-field-underline {
  /*change color of underline*/
  background-color: green !important;
} 

::ng-deep.mat-form-field-ripple {
 /*change color of underline when focused*/
 background-color: green !important;
}

</mat-form-field>
