Curious about grayed-out text in some replies [View all]

I'm sure this question has been asked, but I could not find the answer. Does anyone know why I occasionally see the text I'm typing in light gray instead of black? This just happened as I was replying to a thread. I've seen it before, but it just happens occasionally, and I cannot understand the rhyme or reason. My post still gets posted--no problems there. I'm just curious as to why this happens. Thank you.
