In JavaScript, CSS style property names use camel case.

So where you have "backgroundcolor", it should be "backgroundColor" (with a capital "C").

Here is the answer to those questions:

const warning = document.getElementById("warning");
let button = document.getElementById("makeItRed");

button.addEventListener('click', () => {
       warning.style.backgroundColor = "red";
  });
