Gradient challenge step 4

Hi, I need help with task 4 on linear gradient where it asks me to make the gradient appear from bottom to top and set the second color at 90%. When I check my work it gives me like an error saying that the task 3 (previous one) is no longer correct??? Is it me or a bug's fault. Please help!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, 90% darkslateblue);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

90% must go after color.

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

Hi Hector. The percentage must be after the color name, that is: darkslateblue 90%.
