Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When the `TextInputLayout` is in error, the hint text is also tinted using the error color specified for the app. This provides an overwhelming experience to the user.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Perhaps the `hint text` can use a color selector where there is a `state_error`.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
**Additional context**
