Is it possible to control both of the colours used in ridge borders?
I've not been able to find an example anywhere, so I'm beginning to
think that the answer is no.

Some time ago, Opera changed the default colours they use for ridge
borders to something much darker. I've tried to fix this with CSS, but
I've only been partially successful.

IIRC how the ridge or groove is displayed is UA dependent, in fact for
all border-styles, another example is the difference between dotted and
dashed from Gecko and IE.

Depends.

What have you searched for?

It isn't.

What have you tried, where and how did it fail?

I tried to find how I would specify both the "light" and "dark"
colours for a ridged border, and failed to find any information at
all.

The failure was more complex, and we all hate users who obfuscate the
actual failure, so it went something like this:

Google search: HTML ridge border colors
I find information on setting the colour (note: singular) of the
border, or the top/bottom/left/right border.
Go to next hit. Same outcome.
Repeat about 10 times; same outcome.
Decide to try my abuse to resistance in c.i.w.a.stylesheets

.... and here I am. The quality of the abuse was sub-standard.

Never ask a question on usenet. It is an elementary and basic
principle.

There are ways to get the borders you want but you might have to
go to a little trouble making them in photoshop or the like...
Not sure if you are interested in that. Failing that, perhaps
choose different colours for particular browsers if there is a
way to do that (for IE it is easy) ... that make the ridge
"acceptable" for that browser. You have tried groove I assume?
