Sass - Speeding up workflow with sass

For Challenge 3 of 3 on Sass Basics: Creating a Color Palette <br> This is the accepted answer

$complement: complement(red);

a {
    color: lighten(red, 5%);
    background: desaturate($complement, 10%); 
}

$complement: desaturate (red, 10$);

The 10 should be a % not a $.

I could be wrong, but that's all I see that looks off.

by mistake i placed that "$" but even if I put a "%" it does not accept my code

What does it say when you try?

I need to call the complement() function

From reading the question over again, it seems as if they want something more like this:

$complement: red;

a { color: lighten (red, 5%); background: desaturate($complement, 10%); }

I have not taken this particular code challenge yet, but from everything I see, that's what I would try.

yea nothing yet:/

Same issue. It keep saying I should call the $complement No idea what I am doing wrong.

My code:

<pre> $complement: desaturate (red, 10%);

a { color: lighten(red, 5%); background: $complement; } </pre>

Any idea?

This worked for me!

$text-color: red; $complement: complement(red);

a{ color: lighten($text-color, 5%); background: desaturate($complement, 10%); }

yes, that did it. @ Joy Singharath

$complement: complement(red);

a {

color: lighten(red, 5%); background: desaturate($complement, 10%);

}

for the greater good ;)

i believe function(brackets) shouldn't have a space. I was stuck for a fews days
