Add the end Guil uses $ui-colors for the selectors but before changed the directive rule to be wrapped in a mixin of $map, just wondering did I miss something here, thanks.

11,496 PointsStart at 4:09 in to the vid to see where Guil makes the changes. I've just watched it again and from what I can understand is he's gone and created the $map mixin for applying to different contexts, but also uses the $ui-colors @include for button. So basically making both for different purposes? but doesn't show making both he just changes $ui-colors to $map.??https://teamtreehouse.com/library/modular-css-with-sass/getting-modular-with-mixins-and-functions/colors-with-sass-maps.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 40,307 PointsHi Jason,
Guil creates a mixin to make our $ui-color map more flexible so we can use it for more than one selector when needed. It makes it more modular by wrapping it in a mixin. The reason why we change the $ui-colors to $map and give our mixin bg-colors the argument $map is so that when we include the mixin bg-colors we could pass any color map we've created as the argument.
