when i type in the root variables every CSS selector under it is highlighted in red?

hi my code is :root { --color-primary: #278da4; --color-secondary: #b13c69; }

for some reason after the single dash in --color-primary and --color-secondary the words "primary" and "secondary" along with every CSS selector under it is highlighted in red. any help would be appreciated... I'm also using chrome.

Hi ethan wolfe can you share your code, or somewhere online you can show us (codepen, jsbin, etc) So we can take a look?
