Describe your issue

You need to add a border color for border-opacity-<number> to work. Just border border-opacity-<number> should work on it's own.

I have met the same problem with you. And I think it might be designed deliberately by TailwindCSS team.

@gaojunran are you triggering a border on hover/focus but don't want CLS like I am (and why I filed this issue). Instead, you can do border-transparent and border-inherit, i.e. border border-transparent hover:border-inherit

[usernamedd]

if you define border-red-100 and border-opacity- , the will be used as opacity of rgba color(here is red) . but if the border-- is not defined , the opcity will not be applied , as a result the border not behave as expected

Yep!
