text-stroke
CSS text-stroke Property
The text-stroke property is an experimental property providing decoration options for a text. It is a shorthand for the following properties:
text-stroke-width
text-stroke-color
There is the text-fill-color property, which overrides the color property, allowing for a graceful fallback to a different text color in browsers that do not support the text-stroke property.
You can choose colors from here: HTML colors.
Web fonts are typically based on vector graphics which means that the shape is determined by mathematics and points instead of the pixel data. As they are vector we can do everything that can be done with vector text by other vector programs. For example, we can add a stroke for certain characters.
The text-stroke property is only used with a -webkit- vendor prefix. This property is not standard. It does not work for every user. There are incompatibilities between implementations, and the behavior may change in the future.
