Set the second color stop's position to 90%. Then, add the value that sets the gradient direction from bottom to top.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image:linear-gradient( to bottom steelblue ,darkslateblue 90%)

}

Hi Brian The task was to set the gradient direction from bottom to top, but you placed "to bottom" which means from "top to bottom" so you need to put "to top".

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
