PHP Object-Oriented PHP Basics Building a Collection Collection Objects

Collection Objects task 3 of 3: Filtered objects returning correct objects. Not sure why I can not continue.

I've created my filter and it appears to be working when I var_dump.

The color is blue, there are three houses: Lot A, B and C. Lot A has a blue roof and Lot B has a blue wall (it may be the other way around).

But lot C is white and red and is not returned in my array which is what It asked for. so I'm unsure as to what I've done wrong.

Any Help is appreciated.

Many Thanks, Jack

index.php 
<?php

// add code below this comment
class Subdivision
{
  public $houses = array();

  public function filterHouseColor($color)
  {
    $taggedRecipes = array();
        foreach ($this->houses as $house) {
          //var_dump($house);
            if(strtolower($color) == $house->wall_color){
                $filteredHouses[] = $house;
            }
        }
        foreach ($this->houses as $house) {
            if(strtolower($color) == $house->roof_color){
                $filteredHouses[] = $house;
            }
        }
        //var_dump($color);
        var_dump($filteredHouses);
        return $filteredHouses;
  }
}
?>

I worked it out. I needed to combine the two loops and use an OR like the question asked. My bad.
