Color of active input placeholder text CSS3

How do i set the placeholder color of the active input, but that doesn't work.. I tried following:

::-webkit-input-placeholder:active {
color:    blue;
}
:-moz-placeholder:active {
color:    blue;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder:active {
color:    blue;
}

What i am after is same effect as the inputs on https://twitter.com/ ..

Solution so far:

:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color:    blue;
}
:focus:-moz-placeholder {
color:    blue;
}
:focus:-ms-input-placeholder {
color:    blue;
}

Is this you looking for? I am not sure...

My Demo

input {
    border: 1px solid black;
    margin-top: 150px;
    margin-left: 100px;

    height: 20px;
    width: 200px;
    padding: 5px;
    border-radius: 3px;

    font-size: 14px;

    transition:.2s linear;
    -webkit-transition:.2s linear;
    -moz-transition:.2s linear;
}

input:focus {
    outline: none;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 7px #61C5FA;
    border-color: #61C5FA;
}

:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color:    blue;
}

Change the placeholder text bluecolor into whatever you like... If, its not just explain more...

Thanks

You are using :active pseudo class, instead use :focus

My Fiddle

:active styles only applies when you keep an element clicked, so use :focus for input fields...

CSS

:focus::-webkit-input-placeholder {
   color: blue;
}
:-moz-placeholder:focus {
   color: blue;
}
:-ms-input-placeholder:focus {
   color: blue;
}
