I can't seem to get this color attribute to work in my input and textarea selector. The instructions are not clear on what they want the border to be

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
the color attribute in my input selector is not correct.
make the input and textarea elements blend in with the background theme, set their background-color to #0a0a23 . Then, give them a 1px , solid border with a color of #0a0a23 .

   **Your code so far**

input, textarea {
background-color: #0a0a23;
border: 1px solid;
border-color: #0a0a23;
}

Hi @adriannimri

It is easy to solve, just check shorthand border syntax in mdn web docs or w3shcools :wink:
Happy coding and take breaks too!!
