Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Specifies the document type and version of HTML -->
<html>
<head>
<title>How to specify the width, style and color of the rule between columns</title><!-- Sets the title of the HTML document -->
<style type="text/css"> /* Begins a CSS style block */
 .content-box { /* Defines styles for elements with the class "content-box" */
-webkit-column-count: 3; /* Sets the number of columns for elements with the class "content-box" to 3; specific to WebKit browsers */
-webkit-column-gap: 30px; /* Sets the gap between columns for elements with the class "content-box" to 30 pixels; specific to WebKit browsers */
-webkit-column-rule: 4px outset #CC63FF; /* Sets the width, style, and color of the rule between columns for elements with the class "content-box"; specific to WebKit browsers */
 column-rule: 4px outset; /* Sets the width and style of the rule between columns for elements with the class "content-box"; fallback for non-WebKit browsers */
 }
</style><!-- Ends the CSS style block -->
</head>
<body>
<div class="content-box"><!-- Starts a division element with a class of "content-box" -->

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify the width, style, and color of the rule between columns in a CSS layout.
The CSS style block defines rules for elements with the class "content-box".
The -webkit-column-count property sets the number of columns to 3 for WebKit browsers.
The -webkit-column-gap property sets the gap between columns to 30 pixels for WebKit browsers.
The -webkit-column-rule property sets the width, style, and color of the rule between columns to 4 pixels, outset style, and a specific color for WebKit browsers.
The column-rule property is a fallback for non-WebKit browsers, setting the width and style of the rule between columns to 4 pixels and outset style.
The HTML body contains a division element with a class of "content-box", which contains multiple h1 and p elements.
The content in the division element will be displayed in three columns with a specified column gap and column rule.
