If a text field has an error associated with it then It think the current placeholder code leads to confusion.

The field text loses its grey colouring and becomes red, this means that the colour hinting is lost and can lead to user confusion (Especially in cases where we are validating_presence_of).

I would either:

Keep grey colouring on placeholder text no matter what
or
Remove placeholder text in case of errors on the field.

What do you guys think?
