im confused on what to do? like fallback??

  **Your code so far**


<style>
:root {
  --red-color: red;
}
.red-box {

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

Remember that CSS uses a “cascade” meaning that rules that are defined below another rule will take precedence. For example if I defined some rules like this:

p {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-size: 18px;
}

In the above example the font size of p tags will be 18px because that’s the line that is lower in the cascade. It overrides the font-size: 16px.

However if that last line were to not work for some reason (like if I were using a CSS feature that the browser didn’t support such as in the case of IE). then the line font-size: 16px would be the “fallback”.
