CSS Color Keywords provide some special color keywords with their specific meanings. There are 3 different possible approaches through which the Color can be defined, i.e., the transparent, currentcolor, and inherit keywords.
Transparent Keyword
To make the color as Transparent, the Transparent Keyword can be used, which makes the background color as transparent for an element. The transparent keyword is equivalent to rgba(0,0,0,0).
Syntax
element {
background-color: transparent;
}
Example: The example illustrates the CSS Color Keywords transparent.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0">
<style>
div {
background-color: transparent;
border: 2px solid black;
height: 50px;
}
body {
background-color: rgb(165, 220, 165);
}
p {
background-color: rgb(238, 238, 249);
height: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>

<h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>

The currentcolor defines the value of the color property of the element that allows you to use the current text color for other properties. If the specific used color needs to be consistent for the entire web page or the element, then this keyword will be beneficial to use.

color: crimson;
border: 2px solid currentcolor;
}
