Learn CSS Colors by Building a Set of Colored Markers - Step 50

Curriculum Help

Tell us what’s happening:
Does anyone know what’s wrong with this? Because the challenge was"apply a red-to-green gradient along a 90 degree line to the first marker" Which I already did. I also tried using rgb and hsl colors and it still doesn’t work.

The hint is " Your `red CSS rule should have a background property with the value linear-gradient(90deg). "

Hah I swear this will end up just me being blind and missing something, Thanks!

Your code so far

Why do you have those color value?

3

I mean even this didn’t work, the color argument in the linear-gardient function can be anything no? whether its colors keywords, hex, rgb or hsl it shouldn’t matter in theory no?

.red {
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgb(250, 0, 0),hsl(120, 100%, 50%)) ;
}```

You should understand that the lesson talks of the colors but they should not be included in your code at the moment. You should only have a direction value.

5

But it says:

“Now you’ll apply a red-to-green gradient along a 90 degree line to the first marker”

And prior to this there was a challenge that tells you to change each markers name to their correspondent color (in case you were wondering about the .red)

6

When you add the color value does the challenge pass?

7

Nope, even tho it asks me to do so

8

Then it mean that color values aren’t required,remove them,it’ll pass.
