Still stuck at 4/4 of the SASS challenge: Interpolating and if/else!!!

I tried different things like:

@if $time == morining {
a { color: red; }
}

But I still get the error: Bummer! The color should be set to red.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here... Underneath is the current code I use.

Your a selector was inside the mixin. Therefore, this code will work:

/* Write your SCSS code below. */


@mixin cars($make, $color) {
  .#{$make} {
    border: 1px solid black;
    background-image: url("../#{$color}.png");
  }
}

$time: morning;

a {
  @if $time == morning {
    color: red;
  } @else if $time == afternoon {
    color: blue;
  } @else {
    color: gray;
  }
}

Thanks! It was not clear to me that I had to place it outside the mixin... Stupid mistake ;)
