On my workspace, quick view on hover is selected, but I don't see colors when I hover over word in the code. What's up?

I've tried unchecking and rechecking view on hover and that didn't change anything.

please post your code in the question, and let's take a look at it.

example ?

. #wrapper {max-width:940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; background: blue;}

Same result when html coding. When I hover over the word blue, there should be a color swatch that pops up and shows me the blue color. This doesn't happen.

the only reason why I can think that the swatch doesn't show is because your not using background-color: blue; it should work with the shorthand.

Doesn't work on that either. Also doesn't work with {background-color: #6ab47b;} (I know that's green, not blue, but you get the point.)

does it show up at all? What does it look like in the browser? this might just be a workspaces issue.

Try opening Treehouse and Workspaces in Chrome. I was using Internet Explorer and had the same issue. I just tried Chrome and I was able to see the colors while hovering.
