Your code so far

I copied the code “background-color: var(–building-color1);” and paste it into all three of the elements. So they are all alike, but somehow it says that bb1c is wrong? what am i missing?

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">    
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>City Skyline</title>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />   
  </head>

  <body>
    <div class="background-buildings">
      <div class="bb1">
        <div class="bb1a"></div>
        <div class="bb1b"></div>
        <div class="bb1c"></div>
        <div class="bb1d"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

/* file: styles.css */
* {
  border: 1px solid black;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.background-buildings {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

.bb1 {
  width: 10%;
  height: 70%;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  --building-color1: #999;
}

.bb1a {
  width: 70%;
  height: 10%;
  background-color: var(--building-color1);
}

/* User Editable Region */

.bb1b {
  width: 80%;
  height: 10%;
  background-color: var(--building-color1);
}
}

.bb1c {
  width: 90%;
  height: 10%; 
  background-color: var(--building-color1);
}
}

.bb1d {
  width: 100%;
  height: 70%;
  background-color: var(--building-color1);
}
}

/* User Editable Region */
