The default color is the currentColor of each of these values.

If you provide one value, it sets the color for the element. Two values set the horizontal and vertical values, respectively. Providing three values sets the top, vertical, and bottom values, in that order. Four values set all for sides: top, right, bottom, and left, in that order.

Usage

 The color value can be a property keyword, an extended keyword, or a numerical value. The two property keywords are currentColor and transparent. currentColor is the ‘color’ property value from the parent object. transparent is shorthand for transparent black, rgba(0,0,0,0).

The color value can also be a numerical value, such as one of the following:

a basic color keyword, such as “red”
a hex value, such as #ff0000
an red-green-blue (RGB) value, such as rgb(255,0,0)
an RGB-alpha (RGBA) that includes color opacity, such as rgba(255,0,0,1) or rgba(100%,0%,0%,1)
a hue-saturation-lightness (HSL), such as hsl(0, 100%, 50%)
HSLa, such as hsl(0, 100%, 50%, 1)

The color value can also be an extended keyword, such as aliceblue or lavenderblush. For a full list of extended keywords, see the CSS Color Module Level 3 spec, which is the consolidation of various specifications.
