Hi Chase,

You made two mistakes in your code. At first, in the init you shouldn't pass in data but only types, in this case Double. Second, the description should be initialized as follows:

the description property should look like this:

"red: 86.0, green: 191.0, blue: 131.0, alpha: 1.0"

As stated in the challenge description. A solution could look something like this:

init (red: Double, green: Double, blue: Double, alpha: Double) {
      self.red = red
      self.green = green
      self.blue = blue
      self.alpha = alpha
      self.description = "red: \(red), green: \(green), blue: \(blue), alpha: \(alpha)"
     }

Hope this helped!

Kind regards, Jari
