Anyone know why CSS provides color for text, but does not have font-color or text-color?
Seems very counter-intuitive, kind of like text-decoration: underline rather than font-style or something related to fonts.
Does anyone know why/how the W3C came up with such a wide array of CSS names like this?
I would think that one reason could be that the color is applied to things other than font. For example:
Yields both a red font color and a red border.
Alternatively, it could just be that the W3C’s CSS standards are completely backwards and nonsensical as evidenced elsewhere.
