Tell us what’s happening:

Hello!
I am really lost on this one. I have written green as the fallback value but it still will not go through.

Please help!

Hi @NataliaZB

That didn’t work. You should add a fallback value to a variable by putting it as the second value of where you use the variable like this: var(--variable-name, fallback-value) .

Place the colour inside the round braces, like in the example.

Happy coding
