border-block-color | CSS CSS Properties

Sets the color of the borders in the block dimension (top and bottom in horizontal text). It's a logical way to style both 'vertical' ends of a box at once.

Quick example

.sidebar-item {
  /* Sets both top and bottom borders to purple */
  border-block-color: #7c3aed;
  border-block-style: solid;
  border-block-width: 2px;
}
