Instruction:
In the styles.css file, find the selectors .input-error and change the border-color property value from #F2F3F5 to #FC472E .

After doing this, I get an error saying that it expected #FC472E but got ‘#AD6XXX’ , ‘#AD6XXX’ , ‘#AD6XXX’ , ‘#AD6XXX’

there were different numbers in place of the X’s that I don’t remember, but there were no matching text for ‘AD6’ on either the index.html or styles.css.
