Feature request: theme token for user input text color

Please add a color token (e.g. userInputText) to the custom theme system that controls the color of the text the user types in the prompt input.

Today the theme system exposes many tokens (briefLabelYou, promptBorder, claude, etc.), but none color the characters the user types at the prompt. The closest workarounds — recoloring the "You" message label (briefLabelYou) or the input border (promptBorder) — style the surrounding chrome but not the typed text itself.

Use case: I'd like my own prompts/questions to render in a distinct color (e.g. brand red #FF3621 or any color) so my input is visually separable from Claude's output when scanning back through a session. A userInputText token (ideally with a paired userInputTextShimmer) in ~/.claude/themes/*.json overrides would solve this cleanly and stay consistent with the existing custom-theme model.

Thanks!
