I think what the question is trying to say is that this:

<textarea disabled="disabled" style="color:#000  ;">Hello</textarea>

You should use the CSS attribute selector for better solution. Check out this example -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Attribute Selector Example</title>
<style type="text/css">
    input[disabled]{
        color: #000;
        border: 1px solid #000;
    }
</style>
</head> 
<body>
    <form>
        <input type="text" disabled="disabled" value="Disabled Input">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
