Why won't background color of page controller change to .blue?

I have followed the teacher's code exactly from this lecture video, yet when I launch the simulator the background of the next page after the launch page still shows as white.

Why won't background color of page controller change to .blue?

I am using Xcode 11.2.1 and as it is now Dec 2019, I believe I am working with Swift version 5.1. Is there something I am missing about the latest versions of Swift that is not reflected in the teacher's video from 3 years ago?

I might misunderstand the question so apologies if that is the case but I have run in to this problem with the CSS videos...make sure the right workspace is launched. Sometimes I have to "launch new workspace" and find the corresponding video and type it in manually then launch...when I reopen my reference I find that the code works fine.

The code for these lectures were written back in 2015 or 2016 and are now out-of-date and incompatible with Swift 5.1/X-Code 11.2.

So I was able to the Apple Developer website https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and download X-code 9.0 which still works on MAC OS Mojave yet also run the out-of-date Swift 3.0 code in these lecture with minor modifications.
