The column-rule-color CSS property sets the color of the line drawn between columns in a multi-column layout.

Try it

Syntax

css/* <color> values */ column-rule-color: red; column-rule-color: rgb(192 56 78); column-rule-color: transparent; column-rule-color: hsl(0 100% 50% / 60%); /* Global values */ column-rule-color: inherit; column-rule-color: initial; column-rule-color: revert; column-rule-color: revert-layer; column-rule-color: unset;

The column-rule-color property is specified as a single <color> value.

Values

<color>

The color of the rule that separates columns.

Formal definition

Initial value	currentcolor
Applies to	multicol elements
Inherited	no
Computed value	computed color
Animation type	a color

Formal syntax

column-rule-color = <line-color-list> | <auto-line-color-list> <line-color-list> = [ <line-color-or-repeat> ]+ <auto-line-color-list> = [ <line-color-or-repeat> ]* <auto-repeat-line-color> [ <line-color-or-repeat> ]* <line-color-or-repeat> = <color> | <repeat-line-color> <auto-repeat-line-color> = repeat( auto , [ <color> ]+ ) <repeat-line-color> = repeat( [ <integer [1,∞]> ] , [ <color> ]+ )

Examples

Setting a blue column rule

HTML

html<p> This is a bunch of text split into three columns. The `column-rule-color` property is used to change the color of the line that is drawn between columns. Don't you think that's wonderful? </p>

CSS

cssp { column-count: 3; column-rule-style: solid; column-rule-color: blue; }
