Change color of the label in a Simple Form

How can I change the color of a field's label in Simple Form? Now it's black but I want it to be white.. I'm using scss. I tried this code below but it's not working:

label {
    float: left;
    width: 100px;
    text-align: right;
    margin: 2px 10px;
    color: #ffffff;

  }

and html output of the field

<div class="form-group email optional user_email"><label class="email optional control-label" for="user_email">Email</label><input class="string email optional form-control" placeholder="[email protected]" type="email" value="[email protected]" name="user[email]" id="user_email"></div>
Solution

  • That's because of the CSS specificity. But, from the documentation's example, every label has the control-label class, so style it instead:

    .control-label{
     color: white !important; // some color
}
