Hex color not working in this problem

Challenge Use a CSS Class to Style an Element has an issue. User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.71 Safari/537.36. Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

  .blue-text {
    color: #00f;
  }
  .red-text {
    //color: red;
    color: #f00;
  }

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>

@wikiwiggs thanks for the issue. And you are correct that colors can be described in multiple ways. The reason why the challenge will only take it in this certain way is because our curriculum is designed for people who have never coded before, thus will not know of different ways to encode color. For someone who doesn’t know how to code, just using the color words themselves is easier to understand. Using hex codes and other ways of encoding colors come later on in the curriculum.

So I’m not sure if we want to account for other colors in this challenge. But one thing we could do is to specify to use the word red within the style tags, rather than assume that the user will input the word itself.

cc/ @freeCodeCamp/moderators thoughts?

@Margaret2 @erictleung thanks.

@wikiwiggs thanks for the feedback and the pointers to the documentation. Here is our code of conduct in support of the fact if you feel dissatisfied with the way, mods have responded to your request.

Now coming, back to your query, please understand that:

1. This particular challenge is NOT aimed to be a perfect code interpreter to handle all the possible ways to handle colors in the tests. I confirm that it’s NOT the intention.
2. We aim to teach concepts, in small bits that are easy enough to grasp for newcomers.
3. We have challenges, that fulfill the gaps that you have CORRECTLY pointed.

Finally, we are not going to implement the change that is requested here, because of the additional complexity, it adds without adding value than that already is being delivered in this particular challenge.

Thanks. Happy coding!
