Examples

This example uses border-bottom-color to set the bottom border color to a different color than the rest of the border.

HTML


<body>
   <div class="box"></div>
   <div class="rounded"></div>
</body>

The CSS below sets the bottom border color for two div elements. The remaining border sides retain the color specified by the border-color property.
