Step 44

Gradients can use as many colors as you want like this:

gradient-type(
  color1,
  color2,
  color3
);

Add a linear-gradient to .bb1d with orange as the first color, --building-color1 as the second, and --window-color1 as the third. Remember to use the gradient on the background property.

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

Hi,
orange is not a variable. You can leave the var() out.
Regarding the other variables, you need two – for each of them, you’ve now only got one.

I think your problem may be due to some confusion with variables.

when you call for a variable, you use var(), as you have done.
However, I do not see an --orange: variable, and the browser does not know what it is.

orange is a built in variable, you do not need to create it, it will simply work as the word orange

when colors have built in variables you can see a color square appear next to them
