Stuck on Sass Challenge

Stuck on this challenge: Use an @each loop to set the variable $color to the color red, then blue, and finally green. Use the loop to create three classes: .red_box, .blue_box, and .green_box. The background color for each class should be set to the corresponding color.

My answer:

@for $i from 1 through 3 { .item_#{$i} { width: $i * 100px; } };

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

The program says that adding this makes my first task wrong, but I can't seem to fix it. Help please..

Hi Christina,

You almost there,

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