Please Tell us what’s happening in your own words.

here is the task i am to do

6

you were only asked to add 3 colors
(you seem to have a lot more than that)
also check the request again. Which color needs a value next to it? (not all of them)

i have adjusted it, and am still having issues, can you look into it for me and help me with the correct syntax

8

the colors are correct and the percentages are almost all correct.
You really should re-read this exercise. You are missing the point…

9

please can you clarify me more

Use 90deg for the direction, your building-color3 for the first two colors, and window-color3 at 15% for the third. When you don’t specify a distance for a color, it will use the values that makes sense. In this case, the first two colors will default to 0% and 7.5% because it starts at 0%, and 7.5% is half of the 15%.

Try to split this up into smaller sentences.

  • Use 90deg for the direction :white_check_mark:

  • your ‘building-color3’ for the first two colors :white_check_mark:
    and

  • window-color3 at 15% for the third :white_check_mark:

  • when you don’t specify a distance for a color, it will use the values that make sense.

So, they said to specify 15% for the 3rd color. Where does it say to specify 7.5% anywhere?
