The border-color property allows you to set the color of the border. This property is not inherited.

You can declare one, two, three or four colors:

If you declare one color, all four borders will be that color.
 
If you declare two colors, the top and bottom borders will be the first color, the right and left borders will be the second color.
 
If you declare three colors, the top border will be the first, the right border the second, and the bottom and left borders the third color.
 
If you declare four colors, the order is top, right, bottom, left.

Examples

body { border-color: RGB(201, 94, 177); }
