          There appears to be a second placeholder element that sits in front.



          You can modify the CSS to also make that 2nd element white, like so:



          .class1  .mat-select-placeholder, 
          .class1 + .mat-input-placeholder-wrapper .mat-input-placeholder {
          color:white !important;
          }


          Here is a fork of the Stackblitz to demonstrate
