        CSS Border Color

        The border-color property is used to set the color of the four borders.

        • 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;
        >

        border-color: red green blue yellow; /* red top, green right, blue bottom and yellow left */
        >

        border

        The border shorthand CSS property sets an element’s border. It sets the values of border-width , border-style , and border-color .

        Try it

        Constituent properties

        This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:

        Syntax

        /* style */ border: solid; /* width | style */ border: 2px dotted; /* style | color */ border: outset #f33; /* width | style | color */ border: medium dashed green; /* Global values */ border: inherit; border: initial; border: revert; border: revert-layer; border: unset; 

        The border property may be specified using one, two, or three of the values listed below. The order of the values does not matter.

        Note: The border will be invisible if its style is not defined. This is because the style defaults to none .

        Values

        Sets the thickness of the border. Defaults to medium if absent. See border-width .

        Sets the style of the border. Defaults to none if absent. See border-style .

        Sets the color of the border. Defaults to currentcolor if absent. See border-color .

        Description

        As with all shorthand properties, any omitted sub-values will be set to their initial value. Importantly, border cannot be used to specify a custom value for border-image , but instead sets it to its initial value, i.e., none .

        The border shorthand is especially useful when you want all four borders to be the same. To make them different from each other, however, you can use the longhand border-width , border-style , and border-color properties, which accept different values for each side. Alternatively, you can target one border at a time with the physical (e.g., border-top ) and logical (e.g., border-block-start ) border properties.

        Borders vs. outlines

        Borders and outlines are very similar. However, outlines differ from borders in the following ways:

        • Outlines never take up space, as they are drawn outside of an element’s content.
        • According to the spec, outlines don’t have to be rectangular, although they usually are.
