CSS GUIDE OUTLINE-COLOR

Summary

The outline-color property specifies a color for the outline for an element.

The outline properties create a uniform line around an object in order to draw visual attention. An outline is slightly different than a border in several ways: An outline is drawn starting "just outside the border edge" and is allowed to be non-rectangular. Outlines are always rendered on TOP of an element's rendering box and do not influence the box's position or size calculation; the document does not need to be re-flowed when a border is rendered or hidden, but the outline may overlap other nearby elements.

Syntax

img { outline-color: color }

Legal Values

inherit

• Explicitly sets the value of this property to that of the parent.

invert

• This value inverts the color of the outline to the opposite value of the color "underneath" the outline to ensure proper contrast.

color

• Sets the border to the indicated color value.
