I'm having problems on overriding the default color for placeholder in CupertinoTextField. As I'm trying to set it white it always turns to gray. I've inspected the flutter source base and found this:

flutter/packages/flutter/lib/src/cupertino/text_field.dart

Lines 541 to 558 in dfd0229

if (widget.placeholder != null && text.text.isEmpty) {
stackChildren.add(
Padding(
padding: widget.padding,
child: Text(
widget.placeholder,
maxLines: 1,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
style: widget.style.merge(
const TextStyle(
color: _kInactiveTextColor,
fontWeight: FontWeight.w300,
),
),
),
),
);
}

Is there any other way around this?
Here is my flutter installation details:
