Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I am stuck with a linear gradient and message:
Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.

Hint

You should use --window-color1 as the third color in the linear-gradient. I have --window-color1 as the third color. Where is a mistake please? I have no clue.
Thank you

Your code so far

.bb1d {
  width: 100%;
  height: 70%;
  background-color: var(--building-color1);
background: gradient-type(linear-gradient 
(orange, 
var(--building-color1), 
var(--window-color1))
);
}

Hi, you need to specify the linear-gradient() function on the background property. The linear-gradient function you wrote is correct. There is no need to put it in another gradient-type() function. You need to specify linear-gradient() directly on the background property. That is what it means to say.

Also now that background has a color specified by linear-gradient(), the css property background-color is not needed anymore and can be removed.

the syntax of this challenge is the same as the one you did below it
background: linear-gradient( color 1, color 2, color 3 );

color 1 should be orange
color 2 should be var(–building-color1)
color 3 should be var(–window-color1)

I hope this helps
