Challenge: Learn CSS Variables by Building a City Skyline - Step 51

Link to the challenge:

2

How can I write the stop colors in range?
Like from 0% to 6%?

3

refer to the example provided in the exercise. Recall it says:

linear-gradient(
  var(--first-color) 0%,
  var(--first-color) 40%,
  var(--second-color) 40%,
  var(--second-color) 80%
);

so if you wanted 0 to 6 for the first-color, you would need to change the 40% on the 2nd line to 6%

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
