CSS Font color not changing

The table's td color might be overriding the color property of #search. Try this to specifically color the td's

#search table td {
    color: #c02537;
}

If you want to change the color of the input elements, try this :

#search table td input {
    color: #c02537;
}

Working DEMO

Try using:

color: #c02537 !Important;

If its not solve your issue then that means this color attribute is overwrite by your default link color.

Use Browser Plugins like Firefox FireBug and verify that which Css styles are applied and which style is overwriting your color.

Hope this helps

You can use inheritance in css insted of using !important:

#search table td {
    color: #c02537;
}

Have you tried this?

color: #c02537 !important;
