The 'border-color' property sets the color of the four borders. 'border-color' can have from one to four values, and the values are set on the different sides as for 'border-width'.
If no color value is specified, the value of the 'color' property of the element itself will take its place:
P {
color: black;
background: white;
border: solid;
}
In the above example, the border will be a solid black line.
