-webkit-column-count: 3; /* Sets the number of columns for WebKit browsers to 3 */
-webkit-column-gap: 40px; /* Sets the gap between columns for WebKit browsers to 40 pixels */
-webkit-column-rule-style: outset; /* Sets the style of the rule between columns for WebKit browsers to outset */
-webkit-column-rule-color: #CC63FF; /* Sets the color of the rule between columns for WebKit browsers to a specific color */
column-count: 3; /* Sets the number of columns for all browsers to 3 */
column-gap: 40px; /* Sets the gap between columns for all browsers to 40 pixels */

Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates how to specify the color of the rule between columns in a CSS layout.
The CSS style block defines rules for elements with the class "content-box".
Various -webkit prefixed properties are used for WebKit browsers (like Chrome and Safari), while non-prefixed properties are used for other browsers.
-webkit-column-rule-style and -webkit-column-rule-color properties set the style and color of the rule between columns for WebKit browsers.
column-rule-style and column-rule-color properties set the style and color of the rule between columns for all browsers.
The content in the division element will be displayed in three columns with a specified column gap and column rule color.
