I'm on CSS Basics, gradeints 4 objectives, task 4 of 4. No matter what I have tried I keep getting "Bummer: Make sure you're setting the first color stop value to 'steelblue'."

This is my CSS code,

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

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-header{
  background-image: linear-gradient(top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

Hey Brad,

You're really close!

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

Notice here that I'm saying the direction is to top rather than just top.
