Improve Compatibility with Browser Fallbacks- What am I missing

Tell us what’s happening:
Hello all,

The challenge here wants me to implement a fallback to the variable background image with a regular solid red color. I thought I had accomplished this but the site will not let me pass the challenge. Wondering if anyone could shed some light onto this

Your code so far


<style>
  :root {
    --red-color: red;
  }
  .red-box {
    background-color: red;
    background: var(--red-color);
    height: 200px;
    width:200px;
  }
</style>
<div class="red-box"></div>

You have to give “red” color value to background and not background-color property.
Hope this helps.
