border-inline-end-color

Definition

The border-inline-end-color CSS property defines the color of the logical inline-end border of an element, which maps to a physical border color depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the border-top-color, border-right-color, border-bottom-color, or border-left-color property depending on the values defined for writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation.

Examples

Set the color of the inline end border for all p elements to red

p {
  border-inline-end-color: red;
}

Set the color of the inline end border for all span elements to blue

span {
  border-inline-end-color: blue;
}

Set the color of the inline end border for all div elements to green

div {
  border-inline-end-color: green;
}

Set the color of the inline end border for all elements with the class "highlight" to yellow

.highlight {
  border-inline-end-color: yellow;
}

Best Practices

  • Use the border-inline-end-color property to set the color of an element's inline end border.
  • Use a valid CSS color value as the value for the border-inline-end-color property. This can be a named color, a hexadecimal value, an RGB value, an RGBA value, an HSL value, or an HSLA value.
  • Use the transparent keyword to make the inline end border transparent, or the inherit keyword to inherit the color value from the parent element.
  • Be aware that the border-inline-end-color property is part of the CSS Logical Properties and Values module, which is not yet widely supported in modern browsers. Instead, you can use the border-right-color property to set the color of the right border in horizontal writing modes, or the border-top-color property to set the color of the top border in vertical writing modes.
  • Use the border-inline-end-color property in combination with other border properties, such as border-inline-end-style and border-inline-end-width, to create more complex inline end border styles.
  • When using the border-inline-end-color property, make sure to test your inline end border styles on different screen sizes and resolutions to ensure that the border looks good on all devices.
