[development] Colored text in a form

[Frederik Grunta]

This sounds like a CSS styling issue, which has nothing to do with Drupal.

The <font> tag is depreciated - you should stick with <span style=""> or
<span class="important-form-text"> or similar.

As to the actual problem, it will probably be a float: left/right,
display:block, or similar problem - I'd use Firebug to quickly find it
