Questions about Practice 6 for forEach loops

Question

First of all, please keep this practice courses coming.  I've learned so much about forEach in a way that I didn't in the course this was based on and while I don't think it's practical to do do this for every concept I think in this case it's been very useful and worthwhile to do  :)
Anyway, I've passed the challenge for Practice 6, however in the same way that James did, I put the code into separate files before copying them back to the code challenge.   I used console.log to log output and check I was getting the strings I should have done.
So in this challenge, I did the same but although the challenge passes I'm not getting anything returned to the console....
Below is what I attempted.....
```javascript
const colors = ['#87E2D0', '#559F4D', '#FFE0F4', '#7E7E7E', '#FF2D2D', '#F7FFEC'];
let filteredColors = [];
// filteredColors should be: ['#FFE0F4', '#FF2D2D', '#F7FFEC']
// Write your code below
colors.forEach( startsF => {
  if(startsF.startsWith("#F", 1) === true) {
     filteredColors.push(startsF);
  }
});
```
But even with the solution to the challenge I would thought it would return something to the log.   I attempted to log both to the console.
javascript
/* omitting the solution.... */ 
console.log(filteredColors);

You wouldn't get any matches with those arguments to "startsWith".  But you could either change the first argument to just "F" or change the second argument to 0 (or leave it off) and you will.
