Thank you for reading this question

  • Actually, I am trying to create a login form for student and teachers
  • Where there is a Switch/toggle button between Teacher and Student text
  • I want to change the colour (let say to grey from green) of the text when the switch toggle to respective(teacher/student)
  • For Example, if I pressed the switch and the toggle ball sift to right means the Student text will be grey and the same for the opposite side

Here is my code index.html

.form-container{
            text-align: center;
            border-radius: 5px;
            background-color: #f6f6f6;
            padding: 30px 10px 30px 10px;
            margin: 0% 5% 0% 5%;
            font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
            font-weight: 700;
            font-size: 30px;
            color: green;
            -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
        }
        .input-design{
            margin: 0% 15% 0% 15%;
            margin-top: 50px;

You should toggle the class of parent's div when input is changed, and then set the color with that class name.

document.getElementById('switch').addEventListener('click', function(event) {
  event.target.parentElement.parentElement.classList.toggle('student');
});
.form-container{
            text-align: center;
            border-radius: 5px;
            background-color: #f6f6f6;
            padding: 30px 10px 30px 10px;
            margin: 0% 5% 0% 5%;
            font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
            font-weight: 700;
            font-size: 30px;
            color: green;
            -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
        }
        .input-design{
            margin: 0% 15% 0% 15%;
            margin-top: 50px;

You can actually put the word Teacher and Student inside the span element and give it an Id. And assign an ID to input switch to bind with a js function in onclick event. 

.form-container{
            text-align: center;
            border-radius: 5px;
            background-color: #f6f6f6;
            padding: 30px 10px 30px 10px;
            margin: 0% 5% 0% 5%;
            font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
            font-weight: 700;
            font-size: 30px;
            color: green;
            -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            -moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
            box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -1px rgba(0,0,0,0.41);
        }
        .input-design{
            margin: 0% 15% 0% 15%;
            margin-top: 50px;

Making use of before and after elements instead of text. Updated css at the bottom of css code. No jquery needed.

.form-container{
            text-align: center;
            border-radius: 5px;

If you are able to revise your HTML, then this CSS-only solution is also possible:

/* CSS Additions */

/* Checkbox does not need to be displayed */
input {
  display: none;
}

/* Color labels green by default */
.role-selector input+span {
  color: green;
}
.role-selector input+*+*+span {
  color: grey;
}


/* Color labels when input is checked */
.role-selector input:checked+span {
  color: grey;
}
.role-selector input:checked+*+*+span {
  color: green;
}

/* --- */

.form-container {
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 5px;
  background-color: #f6f6f6;
