iOS Swift 2.0 Protocols Swift 2.0 Protocols Protocols With Methods

Error: The ColorSwitchable protocol needs to have a method requirement as specified in the directions.

In the editor below, I've declared a class, WifiLamp, that represents an interface to one of those Internet of Things lamps. The class models state that determines whether the lamp is on or off and a color, represented by the Color enum. For the first step, declare a protocol named ColorSwitchable. The protocol has a single requirement: a method named switchColor that takes a value of Color as an argument. For the sake of this challenge, make sure your method parameter is named color.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

protocols.swift
// Declare protocol here

protocol ColorSwitchable {
    func switchColor(color:Color)
}

enum LightState {
    case On, Off
}

enum Color {
    case RGB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
    case HSB(Double, Double, Double, Double)
}

class WifiLamp {
    let state: LightState
    var color: Color

    init() {
        self.state = .On
        self.color = .RGB(0,0,0,0)
    }
}

it was a spacing issue, func switchColor(color:Color) should be func switchColor(color: Color)
