I can’t work out how to pass the new color to the color-picker-container

You will need to assign it to a variable and update the variable

Kind of like you are doing with the color picker.

Keep in mind you have create a variable called colorState. Do you use it?

I think I’m passing the new color to the container now, but I still can’t pass 12 and 13- colorInput having a value of #ffffff initially and its colour being managed by useState (even though I think it is)

Please share your updated code

const { useState } = React;

export const ColorPicker = () => {

  const handleChange = (e) => {
    setColor(e.target.value);
  };

  const [colorState, setColor] = useState("#ffffff");

  return (
    <div id="color-picker-container" style={{backgroundColor: colorState  || "white"}}>
      <input  type="color" id="color-input" onChange={handleChange} style={{color: colorState}}></input>
    </div>
  );
};
