CSS border-right-color

The CSS border-right-color property allows you to set the color of an element's right border.

You can also use border-color to set the color for all sides of the element, or border-right to set all properties for the right border.

If you use a border without specifying its color, it will use the currentColor value (which is the value of the color property).

The border's style needs to be specified before it can be displayed. You can use either border-right-style or border-style to specify the border's style.

Also, the default width of a border is medium. You can specify the width using either the border-right-width or border-width properties.

Syntax

Possible Values

color: Specifies the color of the right border. It must be a valid color.

In addition, all CSS properties also accept the following CSS-wide keyword values as the sole component of their property value:

initial: Represents the value specified as the property's initial value.
inherit: Represents the computed value of the property on the element's parent.
unset: This value acts as either inherit or initial, depending on whether the property is inherited or not. In other words, it sets all properties to their parent value if they are inheritable or to their initial value if not inheritable.

General Information

Initial Value: Uses the currentColor value (which is the value of the color property).
Applies To: All elements.
Inherited?: No
Media: Visual
Animatable: Yes (see example)

Browser Support

Browser support for CSS properties can vary, particularly for newer or experimental features. Check current browser compatibility before using a property in production, especially when supporting older browsers.

Initial Value

CSS properties have an initial value that applies when the property has not been explicitly set. The initial value is different from the value inherited from a parent element and may vary between properties.

Inheritance

Some CSS properties inherit their computed value from their parent element by default, while others do not. The inherit, initial, unset, and revert keywords can also be used to control how a property gets its value.

Vendor Prefixes

Most modern CSS properties use the standard, unprefixed syntax. Vendor-prefixed properties such as -webkit- are mainly relevant to older browser versions or specific features and should only be used when required by your browser support targets.
