How to change the colour of placeholder and input field of matInput field using of Angular material


In my code (see below) I want to set the colour of placeholder i.e Username and Password and a margin below it to white.

Means the Username and password text should be of white colour and border below it should also be of white colour as i am using a dark back-ground colour.

How can I achieve that?

Html

<mat-card class="login">
<form >
    <mat-form-field color="accent" autocomplete="off" class="form">
            <input class="inputField" maxlength="10" matInput [placeholder][1]="Enter Username" [formControl]="">
    </mat-form-field>
    <br>
    <mat-form-field color="accent" autocomplete="off" class="form">
                <input class="inputField" maxlength="10" type="password" matInput placeholder="Enter Password" [formControl]="">
    </mat-form-field>
    <div>
            <button mat-button class="otp-btn" type="submit">Login</button>
  </div>
  <br>
</form>
</mat-card>

CSS

.example-container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;

.login {
    margin-top: 80px;
