Because `border-color: gray black` would then seem to mean `stripes(gray, black)` for all sides, but it needs to be something else. If you mean inconsistent with other CSS properties like `margin` or list-valued ones like `background`, then the syntax could use slashes instead like `grid-area`. Anyway, that was just to say that there are potential solutions to the issue outlined by @tabatkins. Personally, I'm still in favor of the `stripes()` solution for all the reasons mentioned by me and others. Though I can also see the benefits of a listification of `border-color`. And the votes and [quotes from people commenting on Lea's poll](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13044#issuecomment-3478492464) should be considered, even when the poll was pretty biased and limited to a single use case.
