Can you use multiple border colors for each side ?

When you are using the border short hand property? Or are you limited to just one color when using the border shorthand property?

You can use the border-color shorthand rule.

Example: border-color: red black blue green;

Will color the border as follows. Top:red, right:black, bottom:blue, and left:green

This also works with border-style, and border-width.

Thank you. I just started coding on Code Academy but the lessons were short and touched on the basics with little explanation so it wasn't that helpful. Scoured Google and found this site and I've basically fallen in love with coding. It's really fun and only wish I had found this place sooner.

Facebook request accepted, although as I'm relatively new to coding I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I'll all for trying.
