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

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

Hi @ScottyWicca

I notice in the screen grab you posted, one of the buildings does not have a colour.

Try removing the space between repeating-linear-gradient and the opening round brace.

Then remove the comma after 15% for the last colour.

For next time, describe the issue in your own words. Learning to communicate problems is a part of becoming a web developer.

Happy coding
