Method 2: Using the setProperty method

The CSSStyleDeclaration.setProperty() method can be used to set the required property of the style. The element of which the property has to be removed is selected and this property is applied to its style property. Setting this property to ‘initial’ resets the property to its initial value, removing any effect of the property. 

Syntax:

element.style.setProperty('color', 'initial')
