Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far


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

Reset your code, you should be adding a thing in the empty line. How would you declare a red background for the redbox if you didn’t know about variables? That’s the same kind of thing a browser that doesn’t know variables need

So I declare a variable, that says that color is equal red, and added it a background var

No variables in this case, just the css property you would use without knowing about variables
