CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language used to style HTML elements, enabling web developers to control the layout, appearance, and design of web pages. Through external, embedded, and inline styles, CSS separates content from design, improving website consistency and flexibility.

Key features of CSS include selectors for targeting elements, advanced color specifications (e.g., RGBA, HSL, HSLA), font styling, and advanced techniques like using custom properties for reusable values and theming.

Developer tools and CSS custom properties enhance the workflow by making it easier to inspect and modify styles, ensuring responsive and user-friendly web designs.
