CSS border-right-color property

Definition and Usage

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

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

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