Not sure where I went wrong with this @each loop.

Going through the challenge and came up with this: 

@each $color in red, blue, green {
  .red_box.#{$color} {
    background: red;
    }
  .blue_box.#{$color} {
    background: blue;
    }
  .green_bow.#{$color} {
    background: green;
    }
    }

Not sure where I went wrong, but it's saying I didn't set up the loop correctly.

You want to use the $color in both the name and the background property.

@each $color in red, blue, green {
  .#{$color}_box {
    background-color: $color;
  }
}

That way, if you wanted to add more colors you would just need to add one to the list without touching the inside of the each function at all.
