I keep getting the above error message and I'm not sure what is wrong. See below code snippet.

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue 90%, darkslateblue); }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue 90%, darkslateblue);
}
index.html

Hey Ruben,

You're very close. The instructions say to apply the 90% to the second color stop, but you have it being applied to the first. Just fix that up and you're good!

Nice work. :) :dizzy:
