Bummer! The color should be set to red?

I'm trying to create and if/else statement that will affect my <a> tages. But something's wrong... I keep getting an error message that says "the color should be set to red". I know I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what it is. Any advice?

Here's my code:

$time: morning;
a {
  @if $time == morning {
    color:red;
  } @else if $time == afternoon {
    color:blue;
  } @else {
    color:grey;
   }
  }

I agree, I copied and pasted your exact code into the challenge and it was accepted.

THANK YOU. I thought I was going crazy. I'll try the exercise in a different browser.
