Learn CSS Colors by Building a Set of Colored Markers - Step 26 (255, 255, 255) doesn't create white?

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello Community,

My code passed but I have additional questions. Since it’s mentioned primary colors can be combined to create pure white, I changed my code for this step to (255, 255, 255) out of curiosity and, guess what, it didn’t create white! The color turned lighter, but it’s not white. Please advise on this. Thanks!

Jackie

Hi there,

It’s white for me

Can you take a screenshot to show the color?

Now I realize it’s the forced dark mode in Vivaldi to blame. Thanks!
