    It's shorthand. It is specifying the top, side and bottom border colours respectively.

    Colors may be set to the user's default OS window settings. For example: windowtext, graytext, menutext, highlight, etc.

    The -moz-use-text-color is a proprietary, and valid*, method of setting the bottom border (in this case) to the same color as the text. In a non-Mozilla browser, the value will be ignored, and the bottom color will be the same as the top's.

    cheers,

    * It is valid, but the validator wouldn't know about that value and would treat it as an error.
