The color
property is specified as a single <color>
value.
Note that the value must be a uniform color. It can't be a <gradient>
, which is actually a type of <image>
.
<color>
Sets the color of the textual and decorative parts of the element.
currentColor
Sets the color to the element's color
property value. However, if set as the value of color
, currentColor
is treated as inherit
.
It is important to ensure that the contrast ratio between the color of the text and the background the text is placed over is high enough that people experiencing low vision conditions will be able to read the content of the page.
Color contrast ratio is determined by comparing the luminosity of the text and background color values. In order to meet current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a ratio of 4.5:1 is required for text content and 3:1 for larger text such as headings. Large text is defined as 18.66px and bold or larger, or 24px or larger.
