CurrentColor is a CSS keyword that represents the color value of an element, simplifying border and text color management without redundancy. While useful in its time, it has been overshadowed by custom properties, which offer greater flexibility and clarity in styling. Despite its valuable contribution to CSS, currentColor is less commonly utilized today in favor of more modern solutions. However, it still demonstrates essential programming principles like cascading and inheritance, although developers may encounter some browser inconsistencies when working with it.
The value currentColor resolves to whatever the color value is at the element affected by the selector; it embodies the true power of cascading CSS.
Though currentColor is the old friend of CSS, custom properties have emerged as a clearer, more versatile replacement for managing styles across modern codebases.
