CSS can do this. In your template, put e.g. 

  <input type="text" .... class="formtext">

And then set up a .formtext rule in your site stylesheet:

  .formtext { background: #000000; }

Etc.
 
Play around with it -- depending on the browser, you have a fair amount of
flexibility here. If you want HTML::Template to get involved, then you
could have, for example, 

  <input type="text" .... class="<tmpl_var name="formtext">">

...which will dynamically grab a rule from the stylesheet, or you could
embed the style info with "style='<tmpl_var name="formtextstyle">'", etc.
