Silver Background Issue

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Okay, so the error I’m getting is " Your div element should have a silver background."

I followed along with the video, it seems to match what I saw. I have a feeling there’s something obvious I’m overlooking, haha.

Thanks for reading!

Hi @moeblob !

Welcome to the forum!

The code you have shared works on my end. Please ensure that you have disabled any extensions that interface with the freeCodeCamp website (such as Dark Mode and Ad Blocker), and set your browser zoom level to 100%. Both of these factors can cause tests to fail erroneously.
