Challenge: Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 23

Link to the challenge:

This was generic example of syntax:
var(–variable-name, fallback-value)

You can(and need) to set color instead of writing ‘–variable-name, fallback-value’

i write color2 but is still the same

4

You already did stuff with variables:

This is almost the same, you just need to follow the example and set fallback-value to green, as said in the instructions.

If you still stuck, I need to see your new code

5

how to i set fallback-value to green?

6

var(–variable-name, fallback-value)

this is example.

Instead of variable-name write your variable name.
Instead of fallback-value write any color you need. For this step you need green if I’m not mistaken

7

background-color: var(–variable-color2,fallback-green); but still not working

8

9
