16,242 PointsINPUT needs to be in caps lock.

231,236 PointsYou're very close, and you have the correct conditional expression.
But the code to change the color is already there, so you don't need to add code to do that part. You just need for your conditional to enclose the existing color-changing code so it only runs when the condition is true.
