I have tried many ways but still not working...... the last thing i tried was:
$complement: desaturate.complement(red, 10%);
a{
color: lighten (red);
background: $complement;
}
what is wrong in that ? can i get some explanation....

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsSo the third question is asking "Set the background of the <a> tag to be a 10% desaturated version of the variable, using the desaturate function. (HINT: desaturate works a lot like the lighten function - taking a color, then a percentage!)"
$complement: complement(red);
a {
color: lighten(red, 5%);
background: desaturate($complement, 10%);
}
You seem to have added the desaturate function in the variable rather than the BG :)
