I'm unable to style the input (specifically color and font-weight).

As can be seen on the images below. I do correctly set the --color and --item-font-weight variables, yet these are not applied to the actual input styles. I apply other styles too ie. --item-background and this one works, so I believe it is not an issue with my implemenation.

I worked my way around it using ::ng-deep, however it is not the desired solution as it is deprecated.

Correctly set variables.

Not applied to the input.
