It's bit of a brute-force method, but the only other way is to set border-color for every element within a page and that would require pretty major modifications to the code, can't see any drawback to doing it this way, compared to not doing it at all.

(I'm a little confused about the -expected png image now being integrated in the txt file, but it seems to work fine, so I guess that's just the new way of doing it.)

This is due to a recent regression in run-webkit-tests (or DumpRenderTree?). For now, I suggest rolling WebKitTools back to r32023 and generating the results.

+#define HANDLE_INHERIT_COND_WITH_BACKUP(propID, prop, propAlt, Prop) \

I don't know if propAlt is necessary, because I don't think it can ever be anything other than 'color'.

Well, it was supposed to be re-usable, if ever needed for any other CSS properties. While there's nothing right now, there might be properties in the future that could take advantage of it. Just not a big fan of hardcoding stuff. I assume this is fine, since it was r+ by Dave?

I'll udpate the patch to include the test case in the proper format.

Ok, this is now updated to include outline-color, column-rule-color, -webkit-text-fill-color, and -webkit-text-stroke-color, pert matz's suggestion.

+        Fix border-color, outline-color, column-color, -webkit-text-stroke-color, and -webkit-text-fill-color inheritance to correctly use parent's color if the parent's corresponding (border, outline, etc.)-color property wasn't set.

The ChangeLog should be hand-wrapped to ~80 columns. Whoever lands the patch should do it.
