If that is intentional, then there should be a footnote or an explanation.
The name single-border-color would be more meaningful.
However, doesn't the same issue hold for width and style, in that each of those
values can only be a single value?
Two alternatives would be:
1) use border-color and border-colors as appropriate.
2) Since {1,4} is used in places to indicate that up to 4 choices are
available, {1} might be used to indicate a single choice.
But all in all, I think border-color would do and is clear.
