Well to begin with, you never set the description to the string it requests. But furthermore, even though the instructions don't explicitly say this it expects you to create an instance of the RGBColor object and retrieve the description. Also you're going to call the method to initialize the values when you create the first instance of your object. Here's my final code.

struct RGBColor {
    let red: Double
    let green: Double
    let blue: Double
    let alpha: Double

    let description: String

    // Add your code below
    init(red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {
        self.red = red
        self.green = green
        self.blue = blue
        self.alpha = alpha
        self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"

    }
}
let myColor = RGBColor(red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0)
myColor.description
