:point_right: It's always best to do only what a challenge asks and no more.

It looks like the challenge is confused by the setting of the "color" and "background" properties.

Also, for task 2, the challenge asks for different times to be set for the transition properties, and neither one should be 1 second (but it's OK if you're still on task 1).
