color

Summary

The color property sets the foreground color of an element's text content, and its decorations. It doesn't affect any other characteristic of the element; it should really be called text-color and would have been named so, save for historical reasons and its appearance in CSS Level 1.

Note that the color value must be a uniform color, which may include a transparency value from CSS3 onwards. It can't be a <gradient> which is an <image> in CSS.

初始值	Varies from one browser to another
适用元素	all elements. It also applies to `::first-letter` and `::first-line`.
是否是继承属性	yes
适用媒体	visual
计算值	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)`.
是否适用于 CSS 动画	yes, as a color
正规顺序	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Formal syntax

<color>where 
<color> = <rgb()> | <rgba()> | <hsl()> | <hsla()> | <hex-color> | <named-color> | currentcolor | <deprecated-system-color>
where 
<rgb()> = rgb( <rgb-component>#{3} )
<rgba()> = rgba( <rgb-component>#{3} , <alpha-value> )
<hsl()> = hsl( <hue>, <percentage>, <percentage> )
<hsla()> = hsla( <hue>, <percentage>, <percentage>, <alpha-value> )
<named-color> = <ident>
<deprecated-system-color> = ActiveBorder | ActiveCaption | AppWorkspace | Background | ButtonFace | ButtonHighlight | ButtonShadow | ButtonText | CaptionText | GrayText | Highlight | HighlightText | InactiveBorder | InactiveCaption | InactiveCaptionText | InfoBackground | InfoText | Menu | MenuText | Scrollbar | ThreeDDarkShadow | ThreeDFace | ThreeDHighlight | ThreeDLightShadow | ThreeDShadow | Window | WindowFrame | WindowText
where 
<rgb-component> = <integer> | <percentage>
<alpha-value> = <number>
<hue> = <number>

Examples

The following are all ways to make the element's text red:

element { color: red }
element { color: #f00 }
element { color: #ff0000 }
element { color: rgb(255,0,0) }
element { color: rgb(100%, 0%, 0%) }
element { color: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) }

/* 50% translucent */
element { color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) } 
element { color: hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5) }
