CSS Enhancing Design with CSS Finishing Touches CSS Gradients

Set the second color stop's position to 90%. Then, add the value that sets the gradient direction from bottom to top.

I can't see where I've gone wrong here. It says I need to set the first color stop value to 'steelblue', which it is.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">

Hey Drew Woodhouse ! :wave:

You're currently setting it from top to bottom, it's asking for bottom to top :smiley:

  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);

Thank you, got confused because the error was telling me about the first color stop value rather than setting it to top or bottom :)
