Red text in code?

I noticed while watching this video that a lot of the CSS code he wrote was highlighted red, which I've understood to mean that the code isn't written correctly. Does it mean something else? I don't want to possibly have issues in the future when using these codes is all.

Hello,

My understanding is that a lot of the red seen is just new / updated code that the current version of the text editor has not been updated for. Generally if the teachers are coding it, is is fine, and you can always check your own work through the validators. I had a bit of this with new SVG CSS codes, but it was explained that they are just new versions of the css and everything else is just catching up.
Hope this helps.
