border-inline-color

The border-inline-color CSS property defines the color of the logical inline borders of an element, which maps to a physical border color depending on the element's writing mode, directionality, and text orientation. It corresponds to the {{cssxref("border-top-color")}} and {{cssxref("border-bottom-color")}}, or {{cssxref("border-right-color")}} and {{cssxref("border-left-color")}} property depending on the values defined for {{cssxref("writing-mode")}}, {{cssxref("direction")}}, and {{cssxref("text-orientation")}}.

The border color in the other dimension can be set with {{cssxref("border-block-color")}} which sets {{cssxref("border-block-start-color")}}, and {{cssxref("border-block-end-color")}}.
