With Qt 5.10 you can use the new palette support (https://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/11/23/ready-qt-quick-controls-2-3/) by specifying the colour in the qtquickcontrols2.conf file:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols2-configuration.html#palette-configuration

As mentioned in the blog post, currently only the Default, Fusion and Imagine styles are supported, but the others are coming later.

Although, it seems there is currently no distinction between text and placeholder text:

http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtquickcontrols2.git/tree/src/imports/controls/TextField.qml

I guess we'd need to add support for a placeholder text role to QPalette in order to support distinguishing between the two.
