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