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

Hi, im with a issue in this part:
.bb2 {
width: 10%;
height: 50%;
background-color: var(–building-color2);
–building-color2:#66cc99;
}
Thats exaclty what the exercise wants, but it is not working.
ps: I tried to put the correct code, going to the next step and it still didn’t work.
Your code so far

/* file: index.html */
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>    
<head>
  <title>City Skyline</title>
  <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />   
</head>

<body>
  <div class="background-buildings">
    <div></div>
    <div></div>

i got it, sorry for the trouble.

for the othres that are in the same issue, thats the solution:

the “–building-color2:#66cc99;” property have to be written in the .bb1 class.

You cannot declare the variables inside the selectors.
You have to declare the variables in the root level.

:root {
--building-color:pink; 
}

.bb2{
background-color: var(--building-color);
}
