CSS border-bottom-color attribute

Definition and Usage

The border-bottom-color sets the color of the bottom border of the element.

Only pure colors can be defined, and the border can only appear when the border style is not none or hidden.

Note:Always declare the border-style property before the border-color property. The element must have a border before you change its color.
