Why are some CSS values blue, some green and some red in workspace?

See CSS in workspace (e.g. in header, height is red, background color is green, color is blue.)

Thanks, just interested to know if it means anything.

That's known as syntax highlighting and the colors help identify various parts of code. For example, property names are one color, unit values another, color values another, etc.

It can also help to spot syntax errors when you see something that is not highlighted in the way you expect.
