I found a way to use custom.css but when I try I'm stuck here:

That looks like a validation message not a description…
But I think if you want to do that you’ll have to create a custom component
https://www.sanity.io/docs/component-api
Or do it with validation
https://www.sanity.io/docs/validation which is probably the better choice here.
You could have a description that says “Enter the match time in your local time.” And then add a warning/error if it’s not what you expect? Because making a description red like that signals (to me at least) that there’s an error but the date input is empty so why would it be red?

I tought the same thing but the product owner wants it like that

I personally would push back but that’s me. So you’ll have to go about creating a custom component and maintaining that. Because className doesn’t look to be a valid option for datetime https://www.sanity.io/docs/datetime-type

The
description
field can take a React component, so you could try setting it to something like:

description: (
  <>
    <div style={{ color: 'red' }}>This is important text.</div>
  </>
),
// rest of schema...

Tried but it is not working

Working well, Thanks. was using ts file instead of tsx

Given those errors, you’re probably in a .ts file. It will need to be tsx.
