Why, there is only a pink background and why not a gray or orange background.
what exercise are you on and what have you tried so far?
I was on, changing variable about the penguins belly from pink to white. It sort of a confusion.
Are you on this exercise?
https://learn.freecodecamp.org/responsive-web-design/basic-css/cascading-css-variables/
If so, you will notice the instructions say:
Define a variable named --penguin-belly
in the :root
selector and give it the value of pink
. You can then see how the value will cascade down to change the value to pink, anywhere that variable is used.
The background changes color when you add --penguin-belly: pink;
to root because the background-color
style is set to call --penguin-belly
If this doesnt answer your question, try clicking “get a hint” or clarifying what you are trying to achieve, along with what you have tried so far
I just realised you are on the following exercise -
The instructions are pretty clear:
You can then over-write these variables by setting them again within a specific element.
Try adding --penguin-belly: white
to your penguin
class
I think this is what you are asking about, otherwise just ignore me.
Each bodypart of the penguin is its own div and has CSS to make it into a shape. Only that small part of each div is what has the background color.
Here is a more simple example
:root {
--penguin-skin: gray;
--penguin-belly: pink;
--penguin-beak: orange;
}
body {
background: var(--penguin-belly, #c6faf1);
}
.penguin {
/* add code below */
/* add code above */
