Color property fallback

[dzhiriki]

Why fallback for color: initial is a color: inherit? It's gave different result. Example Initial is a browser default color. Does it has to be black?

font-family and text-align inherit too. Should it be sans-serif and left?

[sylvainbaronnet]

color, font-family and text-align are inherited by default so I think inherit is the right fallback

You are right. I will check all inherit props and create fix after some experiments.

Hi, guys. Sorry for long response. After some experiments, I'm sure that we can replace all inherit values with something more specific.

Here is current changeset. https://gist.github.com/maximkoretskiy/8b2ede7f06cfdb7a78c0

The only thing we can't fix without any doubt is text-align. It depends on browser default text direction. There is a modern way to set universal initial value for text-align: text-align: start. But it doesn't work in old browsers.

Have U any idea for this case?

@ai We need your advice

I think color: inherit is a bad thing. All inherited styles should be declared explicit:

all: inital;
font: inherit;

[Nitive]

direction is already reseted to ltr so I think text-align: left is right fallback.
