Why not background-color but background?

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
Adding background: #00FF; on 50% makes ball’s background color to change
but background-color: #00FF; doesn’t makes difference.
why is this happening?
sorry for my bad english.
thanks

  **Your code so far**

<style>

#ball {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  margin: 50px auto;
  position: relative;
  border-radius: 50%;
  background: linear-gradient(
    35deg,
    #ccffff,
    #ffcccc
  );
  animation-name: bounce; 
  animation-duration: 1s;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}

@keyframes bounce{
  0% {
    top: 0px;
  }
  50% {
    top: 249px;
    width: 130px;
    height: 70px;
    <!-- right here -->
  }
  100% {
    top: 0px;
  }
}
</style>
<div id="ball"></div>

Also, #00FF is not a valid hex color. The hex code should be 3 or 6 characters.
