So this is actually a tricky one and took me a while to figure out why your code wasn't working either. Unfortunately, the error message isn't quite correct here. What this challenge is looking for is not using the shorthand syntax like you have done (which is what I would naturally do as well)

transition-property: color, background;
transition-duration: 1s;
