Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
Syntax
/* values */ border-color: red; /* top and bottom | left and right */ border-color: red #f015ca; /* top | left and right | bottom */ border-color: red rgb(240, 30, 50, 0.7) green; /* top | right | bottom | left */ border-color: red yellow green blue; /* Global values */ border-color: inherit; border-color: initial; border-color: revert; border-color: revert-layer; border-color: unset;

- When three values are specified, the first color applies to the top, the second to the left and right, the third to the bottom.
- When four values are specified, the colors apply to the top, right, bottom, and left in that order (clockwise).

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.
Formal definition
- border-width : as each of the properties of the shorthand:
- border-top-width : medium
- border-right-width : medium
- border-bottom-width : medium
- border-left-width : medium
- border-top-style : none
- border-right-style : none
- border-bottom-style : none
- border-left-style : none
- border-top-color : currentcolor
- border-right-color : currentcolor
- border-bottom-color : currentcolor
- border-left-color : currentcolor
- border-width : as each of the properties of the shorthand:
- border-bottom-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-bottom-style is none or hidden
- border-left-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-left-style is none or hidden
- border-right-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-right-style is none or hidden
- border-top-width : the absolute length or 0 if border-top-style is none or hidden
