Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
This step asks me to change the background of .bb2a to vh solid transparent, which I’ve done. When I submit, the error message I get instructs me to change to vh. I’ve done so in a variety of ways, deleting and re-entering it, for example. Can anyone see something I’m missing?

Hi,
The error is cause by the way you’re using your color variable.
See the styling on .bb2b and notice how the variable is used there.
I hope this helps!
