Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


<style>
  :root {
    --red-color: red;
  }
  .red-box {
   
    background: var(--red-color, red);
    height: 200px;
    width:200px;
  }
</style>
<div class="red-box"></div>

Let’s improve our browser compatibility by adding another background declaration right before the existing declaration and set its value to red.

When a browser parses your code, it reads top to bottom. If it doesn’t understand a property, it will simply ignore it. If it does understand both properties, it will use the last one it reads. This is why it’s important to always put newer properties last.
