CSS Border lesson - bug

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:
I have gotten to this lesson and the test is telling me to create a thick-green-border around my cat image, and I’ve done that, but according to my tests, my border is not green. It is clearly green so I am not sure why the test is saying my border-color: green; is not green. please help.

Your code so far

}

h2 {
  font-family: Lobster, monospace;
}

p {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-family: monospace;
}

.smaller-image {
  width: 100px;
}

.thick-green-border {  
  border-color: green;
  border-width: 10px;
  border-style: solid;
}
</style>

I have even tried hex color and that did not work

Are you using any brower extensions that modify the appearance of your CSS such as dark mode?

Hello @brndndev,

I copied and pasted your code in the challenge and it passed the test. I’m not sure what’s happening at your end. How about trying refreshing the browser. I hope this helps.

Happy coding.

Yes, my issue has been resolved by turning off Darkmode. Thank you for your assistance.
