Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The -webkit-text-stroke-color CSS property specifies the stroke color of characters of text. If this property is not set, the value of the color property is used.
/* <color> values */ -webkit-text-stroke-color: red; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #e08ab4; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(200, 100, 0); /* Global values */ -webkit-text-stroke-color: inherit; -webkit-text-stroke-color: initial; -webkit-text-stroke-color: unset;
| Initial value | currentcolor |
|---|---|
| Applies to | all elements |
| Inherited | yes |
| Media | visual |
| Computed value | computed color |
| Animation type | a color |
| Canonical order | the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar |
