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

|---|---|
| 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). |
