CSS Color Keywords
This page will explain the transparent
, currentcolor
, and inherit
keywords.
The transparent Keyword
The transparent
keyword is used to make a color transparent. This is often used to make a transparent background color for an element.
例子
Here, the background color of the <div> element will be fully transparent, and the background image will show through:
body {
background-image: url("paper.gif");
}
div {
background-color: transparent;
}

Note: The transparent
keyword is equivalent to rgba(0,0,0,0). RGBA color values are an extension of RGB color values with an alpha channel - which specifies the opacity for a color. Read more in our CSS RGB chapter and in our CSS 颜色 chapter.
The currentcolor Keyword
The currentcolor
keyword is like a variable that holds the current value of the color property of an element.
This keyword can be useful if you want a specific color to be consistent in an element or a page.
例子
In this example the border color of the <div> element will be blue, because the text color of the <div> element is blue:
div {
color: blue;
border: 10px solid currentcolor;
}
