Specifically, I want my input text to appear unaffected by the local highlight color of the user. I'm aware that the workarounds for making the blue highlight disappear or change in color are a pain in the ass and that it's silly that Adobe hasn't created a way to specify document-level input field highlight changes, but I'd at least like to know if I can make the text not overlapped by the highlight. In the editor, it looks fine, the text is above the highlight. When opened, however, the highlight is above the text, thus changing the colors and giving it a somewhat hidden look, which appears (in my and others' opinions) unprofessional and muddled.
A potential workaround I thought up would be to make a text field that dynamically updates based on the text of the input field, but I think that's a horrible bloated option and I'd much rather just have a way to make the blue highlight field not so annoying. I'm aware none of this effects print quality, but I'd like the presentation of the form to be more appealing.
Thank you for your time!

I don't understand what you mean. The text in the form field is not affected by the fields highlighting.
Here's how it looks like without highlighting:
And here it is with it (using the default color):
What's the issue there, exactly?

Yeah you're not quite understanding, let me show you.
This is what the input form fields look like in Acrobat
Here they are in Chrome
Now I am aware that the highlight color (the brighter blue) is just how I have it set for personal preferences in acrobat, but the default reader pale blue (in Chrome) shows up OVER the text. So the text takes on a shade of that color. I want to know why the text shows up behind the highlight instead of overtop it like in Acrobat itself, and if there's a setting for it to be fixed.

Chrome is not Acrobat. It has it's own way of displaying PDF files. You'll need to talk to them. Or go onto a Chrome Forum.

This is not true, it just requires 2 lines of JavaScript.

Yeah but those two lines are a bit risky since it can potentially mess with their personal settings. You're taking about turning their preference to no form field highlights on document open, and reenabling it on document close, right?

"quick question how to set highlight color back to default?"
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
app.runtimeHighlightColor = ["RGB", 204/255, 214/255, 255/255]; // default pale blue
