:in-range

The :in-range CSS pseudo-class matches when the value currently contained inside an <input> element is inside the range limits specified by the min and max attributes.

/* Selects any <input>, but only when it has a range */
/* specified, and its value is inside that range */
input:in-range {
  background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.25);
}
Note: This pseudo-class only applies to elements that have (and can take) a range limitation. In the absence of such a limitation, the element can neither be 'in-range' nor 'out-of-range'.
