CSS Border Color
CSS Border Color
The border-color property is used to set the color of the four borders.
The color can be set by:
name - specify a color name, like "red"
HEX - specify a HEX value, like "#ff0000"
RGB - specify a RGB value, like "rgb(255,0,0)"
HSL - specify a HSL value, like "hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"
transparent
Note: If border-color is not set, it inherits the color of the element.
Example
Demonstration of the different border colors:
p.one
{
border-style: solid;
border-color: red;
}
p.two
{
border-style: solid;
border-color: green;
}p.three { border-style: dotted; border-color:
blue;}
Result:
Red border
Green border
Blue border
