Type	Description
Color	A Color object representing the element’s border color specified by the appearance object’s settings.

Remarks

If the appearance object’s AppearanceOptions.UseBorderColor property is set to false and the appearance object has a parent, this method returns the parent’s border color. Otherwise, the current appearance object’s AppearanceObject.BorderColor property value is returned.
