    Most probably the cause is the Google toolbar. On the toolbar there is an “auto fill” option. This tells the user that they can use this option to auto fill certain fields on your form. That will 'helpfully' highlight form fields with certain names such as 'email' or 'name'. You can fix this problem simply uninstalling the Google Toolbar. Thats it !!!

    In order to fix this problem all you have to do is declare your background as important.In CSS if you declare a background color of your form fields this will typically change the background color for all the fields except the fields that are marked by Google for auto fill.place the following in your CSS:

    input[type="text"] /* To keep form fields consistent */
    {
    background: #FFF !important;
    }
