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

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

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

Value Description
color_name Specifies the outline color with a color name, like red
hex_number Specifies the outline color with a hex code, like #ff0000
rgb_number Specifies the outline color with an RGB code, like rgb(255,0,0)
invert Performs a color inversion. This ensures that the outline is visible, regardless of color background. This is default
inherit Specifies that the outline color should be inherited from the parent element
