Hi Austen,

You only needed to add the access modifier private.

You shouldn't change the name of the field. It was color and you changed it to mColor.

Also, the challenge didn't ask for a getter but it might still pass with it in there.

Hi Aiden,

Check the code posted in the question. It shows where the private modifier goes.
