My background-image answer is not being accepted.

What looks incorrect?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header{
  background-shadow: none;
padding:15px;
 background-image: linear-gradient (steelblue, darkslateblue );

Okay, I check the challenge.

.main-header{ background-shadow: none; padding:15px; background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }

Here is the issue. You forgot too add 90% to the second color
