Can't get code to pass on Sass interpolating loops challenge

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong on this. What am I missing?

Underneath the previous code, store the value "morning" in a variable named $time. Then write an if/else directive that will color all <a> tags. If the variable $time is equal to "morning", the color should be red. Otherwise, if the variable is "afternoon", the color should be blue. Finally, if the variable is set to anything else, the color should be gray.

I keep getting the error"Bummer! The color should be set to red."

This is the code I am using for this stage:

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

/***Here is the complete code I am using***/

@mixin cars($make,$color){
  .#{$make} {
       border:1px solid black;
       background-image:url("#{$color}.png")
       }
$time:morning;
   a {
       @if $time == morning {
          color:red;
       }
       @else if $time == afternoon {
          color:blue;
        }
       @else { 
           color:grey;
        }
      }
  }

The $time variable and if/else statement should be outside of your mixin. The complete code should look like this:

@mixin cars($make,$color){
  .#{$make} {
       border:1px solid black;
       background-image:url("#{$color}.png")
  }
}

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

Thank you so much! I didn't even catch that I was missing a curly bracket!
