Applying a color style to a <hr> tag does not render, unless a color attribute
is also given.
example:
<hr color="green">          ==> hr is green
<hr style="color:red;">     ==> hr receives default color. red does not render
<hr style="color:red;" color="green">   ==> hr is red


Reproducible: Always
See http://www.computergripes.com/firefoxsites.html about four fifths of the way 
down.
<hr>s are styled with border-color, not color.

Not sure what to dupe this to/resolve as (wontfix or invalid?)  but

Using inline styles, the color attribute of a horizontal rule <hr> does NOT 
render.

The following HTML code works in IE 6, but does not work in Firefox 1.0.  I
believe this should work as it is a legitimate use of a CSS property.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Hello</title>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
hr {
color: yellow;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello, this is an example of a Firefox 1.0 Horizontal Rule CSS implementation
Bug.</p>
<p>
Using an inline CSS style,
the color of the horizontal rule has been set to yellow.  However, it does not
show any color when viewed in a Firefox
1.0 browser.  It does work properly in Internet Explorer 6.0.
