Specifying Border Width and Color
By default, a border is black and 4 pixels wide. To change these attributes, use the bordercolor

any RGB or hexadecimal color number. (See the discussion of color choices in Chapter 4
if you need to review the color options in HTML.) For example, to decrease the border
width and color it blue using a style sheet, write a rule like this:
p {border-style: solid; border-width: 2px; border-color: blue}
