Remove the yellow background on input on autofill

Question

Anyone knows how to remove this ugly chrome background when autofill? (Refer below.)

So far I tried:

*:focus {
    outline: 0;
}
input:-webkit-autofill {
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: #fff !important;
}
button:focus, input:focus, a:focus {
    text-decoration: none !important;
    outline: none !important;
}

Sadly, none of them works. Any help, ideas, clues, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

.form-item-search-block-form input:focus, 
.form-item-search-block-form input:hover, 
.form-item-search-block-form input:active {
    outline: 0 none;
    border: 0 none;
    background: #282828;
    background: url("../images/search_btn.png") no-repeat 96% 9px;
    color: rgb(202,202,202);
}

.form-item-search-block-form input:-webkit-autofill {
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 1000px #282828 inset;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 1000px #282828 inset;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 1000px #282828 inset;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
    -moz-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
    -o-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
    transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: #eee !important;
}

Add this to your header

input:-webkit-autofill,
input:-webkit-autofill:hover, 
input:-webkit-autofill:focus
input:-webkit-autofill, 
textarea:-webkit-autofill,
textarea:-webkit-autofill:hover
textarea:-webkit-autofill:focus,
select:-webkit-autofill,
select:-webkit-autofill:hover,
select:-webkit-autofill:focus {
  border:none !important;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: inherit !important;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px #FFFFFF inset;
  transition: background-color 5000s ease-in-out 0s;
}

This seems to fix the after-effect of the yellow re-populating on mouseleave

Oddly enough this is the intended behaviour from webkit to let the user infer it was autofilled.

[e-mail] We inherit this coloring behavior from WebKit and I believe it's by design. It allows the user to understand the data has been prefilled.

You can use:

input:-webkit-autofill {
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px white inset;
}

Which will change the background to white.

You can also turn auto complete off by adding:

autocomplete="off"

E.g

<input type="text" name="some_name" autocomplete="off"></input>

To your input, but for usability I would suggest against this.
