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)"

Note:If border-color is not set, it inherits the color of the element.

Example :
