Attempting to use a custom hex color for my css triangle (border). However since it uses border properties I am unsure how to go about doing this. I would like to steer clear of javascript and css3 simply because of compatibility. I am trying to have the triangle have a white background with a 1px border (around the angled sides of the triangle) with color #CAD5E0. Is this possible? Here's what I have so far:
.container {
margin-left: 15px;
width: 200px;
background: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #CAD5E0;
padding: 4px;
position: relative;
min-height: 200px;
}
.container:after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 100%;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-color: transparent transparent transparent #CAD5E0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 10px;
}

You actually have to fake it with two triangles....
.container {
margin: 15px 30px;
width: 200px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #a00;
position: relative;
min-height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
font: bold 1.5em/180px Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 0 0 1px #000;
}
.container:after,
.container:before {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: 100%;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
}
.container:after {
top: 10px;
border-color: transparent transparent transparent #fdd;
border-width: 10px;
}
.container:before {
top: 9px;
border-color: transparent transparent transparent #a00;
border-width: 11px;
}
