Initial

The initial value sets a property value to the specification's default/initial value. Usually, it's the same as resetting the value to the browser's default value.

<div id="initial-example">
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
  <p class="initial">Back to browser's default!</p>
</div>

#initial-example {
  color: red;
  font-family: monospace;
}
#initial-example .initial {
  color: initial;
  font-family: initial;
}
