CSS border-right-color Property

Last Updated : 15 May, 2026

The border-right-color property in CSS is used to specify the color of the right border of an element. It determines how the right border appears visually by applying a specific color.

  • It accepts color values like red, #ff0000, rgb(), hsl(), or transparent.
  • The color is visible only when a border style is applied (e.g., solid, dashed).
  • It is commonly used with border-right-style and border-right-width for complete border styling.

Syntax:

border-right-color: color | transparent | initial | inherit; 

Property Values: 

  • color: It sets the color of the Element's right border.
  • Transparent: It specifies the transparent value of right-border.
  • initial: It sets the Property to its default value.

Example: Here, we are using border-right-color: color; property.
