You can get the colours back by using the System Color values of CSS 2:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#system-colors>

For example, this works for most browsers running on Windows 9x-Windows
2000, at least:
 input { /*assumes a button*/
   background-color: ButtonFace;
   border-color: ButtonHighlight;
   border-style: outset;
 }
 textarea {  
   background-color: Window;
   border-color: ButtonHighlight;
   border-style: inset;
 }

And in Windows 2000 (and probably other versions, too) the default
border width is 2px. There's no way to get the users default font style
or border back via CSS.
