Custom Initializers

Getting an error message telling me that the description is not formatted as requested. I've tried several variants and all give me the same error. I tried the code in an Xcode playground and there were no errors. What am I doing wrong here?

structs.swift 
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 = 86.0
      self.green = 191.0
      self.blue = 131.0
      self.alpha = 1.0
      self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
    }
}

There's nothing wrong with your code. I pasted it into the challenge and it worked fine. Earlier there seemed to be some problems with the challenge editor, and I think you just got a bad response. But it's working fine now.
