I am using Hubspot forms (HTML embedded on my Wordpress site), and the ‘please complete the required field’ text is showing up as an unreadable font color I’d really like to change. The other posts I see about this advise adjusting your Hubspot landing page CSS to override the font color, but I’m not using Hubspot landing pages.

Any advice?

You need this CSS:

```lia-code-sample
.hs-error-msgs label {
 color: #000;
}

```
