Definition and Usage

An outline is a line that is drawn around elements (outside the borders) to make the element "stand out".

The outline-color property specifies the color of an outline.

Note: Always declare the outline-style property before the outline-color property. An element must have an outline before you change the color of it.

Default value:	invert
Inherited:	no
Version:	CSS2
JavaScript syntax:	object.style.outlineColor="#00FF00"

Browser Support

The outline-color property is supported in all major browsers.

Note: Internet Explorer 8 (and higher) supports the outline-color property if a !DOCTYPE is specified.

Property Values

color_name	Specifies the outline color with a color name, like red
