Custom initializers Objective 1 ios Development Swift

I have this error message: "The value of the description does not match with the directions specified". I cannot see the problem. Any idea please?

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
    description = "red:\(red), green:\(green), blue:\(blue), alpha:\(alpha)"
  }
}

Your code is correct. All you are missing is some formatting in your string for description. Put a space after each colon and you should get the correct answer. Keep up the great work!
