You didn't specify for which property you wanted to transition. So in your transition selector, just specify fill before the time property.

Simon was correct.

I got a tad bit lost. I don't remember him saying anything about "fill" being apart of the Transition selector. He seemed to have only put a length of animation and ease....or the word "transform", the length of animation, and the ease. Until I saw your comment I didn't know "fill" can take place of "transform" in the Transition selector haha.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Can someone please explain how fill can both be a value for the attribute transition and an attribute in of itself with the value #feae6e applied to it?
