CSS how to change the color of the line in underlined text

How to make a text underlined in CSS it's pretty clear. You just add text-decoration: underline; and that's pretty much it.

But there is more we can do with text-decoration.

In CSS we can use:

  • text-decoration-color to set the decoration color
  • text-decoration-style and text-decoration-line to change decoration style

Below there are a few examples of these properties in action:
