3,249 PointsWhy is my preview color is off?
As told in the video, I end up with this in my a:focus
background-color: rgba(255, 165, 0, .5);
In the preview page, it shows up as a light shade of orange as expected. But when I hover my mouse over this value in the workspace, it shows a shade of brown. I don't understand why that is.

But the workspace editor doesn't use the CSS, that's what the preview page is for. In the workspace, you're probably seeing some aspect of the syntax highlighting features of the editor.

3,249 PointsSo, because of the way focus works, the workspace won't always preview focus color correctly? I'm most confused because it did preview it correctly before I added the ".5" onto it.
I suppose I am still getting the color I want in the end.
