Problem in IE w/text color input field for 'placeholder'

Any suggestions?

The regular text input on my form is darkblue.
(see the date in the image below)
On some fields I have a ‘placeholder’ example text that is supposed to be grey.
(See the image below)

This CSS is displaying properly in Chrome, but not in IE11:

input[type='text']
{
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: 'Julee' , cursive;
    color: #1619A6;
    background-color: #ECF1F8;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
}
textarea
{
    font-size: 15px;
    font-family: 'Julee' , cursive;
    color: #1619A6;
}
::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    color: #A1A1A1;
}

:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
    color: #A1A1A1;
}

::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
    color: #A1A1A1;
}

:-ms-input-placeholder {
   color: #A1A1A1;
}

Out of interest, have you tried it with the element declared? E.g.

[COLOR="#FF0000"]input[/COLOR]:-ms-input-placeholder {  
   color: #A1A1A1;
}

I wonder if there’s specificity involved here. (I don’t have IE 11, so not able to test.)

Ralph is correct and the placeholder will show the correct color if you increase the specificity.

Thank you Ralph and Paul - That did it!
