Tell us what’s happening:

Hello guys. I keep getting the same error even with a working preview? "18. You should use the :checked pseudo-class on radio buttons to change the text color of the associated label when the option is selected. " I compared my code to the ones in this forum. I used AI to check for mistakes. Tried a couple of different approaches for example even the HAS… and it will always show me the same error. In the preview it works tho… after 2 days someone please tell me whats the issue I can´t find

Your code so far

don’t use transition, using that the color changes after the tests are checking if the color changed
