A CSS declaration has two parts,

a property ("color") and a value ("red"). 

The basic syntax of a rule

selector {property 1:value 1; property 2:value 2} " 

An example (containing two declarations, as above)

P {font-size:8pt; color:red}

CSS is not picky about whitespace, linebreaks, or extra semi-colons, so you can format complex CSS files to make them more manageable;

P {
   font-size: 8pt; 
   color: red;
}

In addition, you can apply the same style rules to more than one element simultaneously by comma-separating them;

H1, H2, H3 {
   font-size: 8pt; 
   color: red;
}
