Forms are going blue, whether you like it or not

If your website forms use checkboxes, radio buttons or range controls, you're in for a nasty surprise. Instead of neutral grey, the latest Chrome renders these in a bright blue, which clashes horribly with many palettes.

What makes this magnitudes worse is you can't fix it with CSS - it's hard coded. They've taken us back twenty years to when all links were a suspiciously similar blue.
