37 Pointsborder color of input text
I changed color of input["text'] by changing its border-color property. https://i.gyazo.com/7c506a92015886b999c5f13d89c1b20c.png But as you can see on this picture the top border's color differs from the bottom border's.
Any ideas on why this may occur? Thanx in advance!

Treehouse TeacherWe really need to see both your CSS and HTML code to troubleshoot this, I think. There's a link to the Markdown Cheatsheet on this page to show you tips on how you can post your code to the forums.

Treehouse TeacherIt looks like maybe you might have a box-shadow or inset shadow somewhere in your CSS. But hard to know for sure.

You'll need ot override the default "border-style:inset;" by either stating "border-style:solid" or uasinf the shorthand "border:1px solid blue;"
