Error when using Sass Map function

Get an error when trying to unpack Sass map function.

// Colors

$fountain-blue          : #52bab3;
$emerald                 : #5ece7f;
$sunglo                     : #e67678;
$coral                       : #ff784f;
$purple-majesty       : #9289c3;
$scooter                 : #39add1;

//UI Colors

$ui-colors: (
  default : $fountain-blue,
  success : $emerald,
  error:  : $sunglo,
  warning : $coral,
  info:   : $purple-majesty
);

@each $theme, $color in $ui-colors {
  .btn--#{$theme} {
    background-color: $color;
  }
}

I get the following error: 

error scss/_config.scss (Line 44: Invalid CSS after "  error:  ": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was ": $sunglo,")

Any suggestions?

Hi Pavlo,

Your code is almost perfect, in your map you have two extra colon's which are sitting after error and info, simply remove the extra colon's and your @each statement will start working.

$ui-colors: (
  default : $fountain-blue,
  success : $emerald,
  error   : $sunglo,
  warning : $coral,
  info    : $purple-majesty
);

Happy coding!
