+<p>2019-04-13</p>
+<p><em>There are a large number of nuanced and mostly unheard of</em> CSS value types, but today we are going to focus on <code>currentColor</code>. So what is the <code>currentColor</code> value type anyway?</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>The currentColor value type will apply the existing color value to other properties like background-color, etc.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<h2 id="see-it-in-action">See it in action</h2>
+<p>Let&#8217;s assume with have a single div with the following properties:</p>
+<pre><code>div {
+ color: dodgerblue;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>If we wanted to use that same color for other properties on elements inside that initial <code>div</code>, it&#8217;s simple - we just need to call <code>currentColor</code> like so:</p>
+<pre><code>div {
+ color: dodgerblue;
+}
+
+div header {
+ background-color: currentColor;
+}
+
+div a {
+ border-bottom: 1px solid currentColor;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Sidenote</strong>: If you re-declare the default <code>color</code> property further along in your CSS, the <code>currentColor</code> value will update according to the last color set.</p>
+<p>And that&#8217;s it. Best of all, this value type is supported across all major browsers!</p>
