Create a .4 second transition for .button that transitions the background colors on both the hover and off states.

You only need to add properties for .button selector.

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-property: background;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}
