Hi Allison! The color is steelblue, all one word. You have it as steel blue. Try removing that space and see what happens. I hope this helps!

Keeps saying 'bummer' to me too, and my code is working in preview to the test spec. I am using 'steelblue', also tried the hexvalue. No love. No options to skip.
