May I please ask for additional clarification on why the correct solution to is:

–penguin-belly: white;

and NOT :

background: var(–penguin-belly, white);

Hi @pythonsparrow. The reason --penguin-belly: white; is the right answer is because the challenge tells you to CHANGE the value of the --penguin-belly variable to white.

If you do so, you are actually adding a fallback value for the --penguin-belly variable in some cases the variable is not working. If it’s not working, the browser will display the color white.

Hope you understand!

Hi @paulsonstech. Thank you for your response! Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I’ve been away from freecodecamp.org and I just recently returned.
