The existence of Google Toolbar might be a reason to avoid yellow text
in form fields, except if you don't mind to display a notice that asks
all your users to turn off their toolbars, or to check for the toolbar
with client side scripting trickery.
BTW I suggest to avoid too much styling on form fields, as their general
appearance is quite conventional, and the more your field looks
different from common form fields, the less it will be recognized as a
form field - which reduces the usability of your form. I don't see a
reason for negative text in dark colored form fields, except "looking
different", which may be cool if applied to the overall appearance of a
site, but bad in the places where functionality is required.
