### Color syntax
--8<-- "docs/styles/snippets/color_css_syntax.md"
### Multiple edge rules
If multiple border rules target the same edge, the last rule that targets a specific edge is the one that is applied to that edge.
For example, consider the CSS below:
```sass
Static {
border-top: dashed red;
border: solid green; /* overrides the border-top rule above */
/* Change the border but just for the bottom edge: */
border-bottom: double blue;
}
```
The CSS snippet above will add a solid green border around `Static` widgets, except for the bottom edge, which will be double blue.
### Defaults
If a border color is specified but the border type is omitted, it defaults to solid.
If a border type is specified but the border color is omitted, it defaults to green (RGB color `"#00FF00"`).
