Learn CSS Colors by Building a Set of Colored Markers - Step 49

Hi everyone! In this step, I was told to change the “background-color” property to “background,” but when I did exactly this, it says that my code is not passing the test. I looked at the hint when the code did not pass, but it’s not telling me to do anything that I didn’t already do. Please help! I can’t move forward until I pass this step.

Thank you in advance!

.marker {

.red {
background: rgb(255, 0, 0);

.green {

I would

  1. make sure you aren’t using an extension that changes CSS (like dark mode extensions)

  2. try a non-Apple browser (Apple ignores various technology standards from time to time)

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you so much! Changing browsers to Google Chrome solved it for me!
