Consider picking up theme colors automatically

[ragulka]

I'm wondering whether it would be possible to have custom-forms pick up custom theme colors automatically and use them for things like border & text colors, instead of the default tailwind colors? More specifically, when extending the default theme with custom grays (replacing the default grays), custom-forms still uses the grays that ship with tailwind itself.

This would make customizing form inputs easier and faster, as one would simply have to set up custom grays and nothing else for it to take effect. RIght now it seems that I have to specifically provide a custom configuration for custom-forms.

module.exports = {
    theme: {
        extend: {
            colors: {
                gray: {
                    50: "#FBFAF9",
                    100: "#F7F6F4",
                    200: "#EBE9E5",
                    300: "#DCD9D2", // no effect on forms by default :/
                    400: "#B2AC9F",
                    500: "#80796B",
                    600: "#635B4B",
                    700: "#514737",
                    800: "#3F3625",
                    900: "#2E2716"
                }
            },
            // 1. this has no effect for forms :/
            borderColor: theme => ({ default: theme("colors.gray.300", "currentColor") }),
            // 2. this works, but it'd be nice if the color would be inherited by default
            customForms: theme => ({
                default: {
                    "input, textarea, multiselect, select": {
                        borderColor: theme("colors.gray.300")
                    }
                }
            })
        }
    },
    plugins: [
        require("@tailwindcss/custom-forms")
    ]
};

I haven't studied the internals of how tailwind or plugins resolve the configuration, so it may well be that this would mean venturing into dangerous territory involving recursive loops or priority issues. However, consider this as an idea to simplify customizations.

Just found out about this, I thought I was using my custom grays for ages
