My CSS studies have resulted in finding the following properties: inherit and initial . The two at first sight seemed quite similar, but I wanted to know even it is:

Where can I use inherit and initial?

In what situations should I not use inherit and initial?

Initially I found the terms similar, but it would be nice to explain the difference between the two.

Basically the initial returns the initial value of the browser, so depending on the browser you use it may return a different value.

The inherit checks the value of the parent element, for example:

div{
color:red;
}
h1{
color:inherit;
}

<div>
    <h1>teste</h1>
</div>

If you put h1 with the initial value it will change the color to black, which is the browser default.
