border-inline-start-color

Sets the color of the 'start' side of the inline dimension (usually the left border). It allows for easier localization without writing direction-specific overrides.

Quick example

.note-box {
  /* Adds a subtle blue line on the logical starting side */
  border-inline-start-color: #3b82f6;
  border-inline-start-style: solid;
  border-inline-start-width: 4px;
}
