Background property won't work

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I was told to change the property background-color to background in the CSS .red class. I did this and now it’s throwing an error. Thoughts?

This code looks correct for me.

I think you are using an apple device, this problem has happened to others in the forum who use apple devices you will likely face the same issue for the .green and .blue too(when the step comes), for now you can move on to the next step

Does this mean that I can’t get my certifications?

No the certifications are only based on the projects, not on the lessons, the lessons are just for you to learn how to code.

At the end, only the projects matter for the Certifications not the lessons
