Summary

The border-bottom-color CSS property sets the color of the bottom border of an element. Note that in many cases the shorthand CSS properties border-color or border-bottom are more convenient and preferable.

Initial value	`currentColor`
Applies to	all elements. It also applies to `::first-letter`.
Inherited	no
Media	visual
Computed value	If the value is translucent, the computed value will be the `rgba()` corresponding one. If it isn't, it will be the `rgb()` corresponding one. The `transparent` keyword maps to `rgba(0,0,0,0)`.
Animatable	yes, as a color
Canonical order	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar
