Property color

Sets the color of text

currentcolor keyword

The currentcolor keyword represents the value of
an element’s color property. This lets you use the
color value on properties that do not receive it
by default.

If currentcolor is used as the value of the
color property, it instead takes its value from
the inherited value of the color property.

<div style="color: blue; border: 1px dashed currentcolor;">
  The color of this text is blue.
  <div style="background: currentcolor; height:9px;"></div>
  This block is surrounded by a blue border.
</div>
