Color of value in workspace won't show when hovering over the word green. It does show correctly in preview, hmm.

Thanks for the advice in advance! Look forward to feedback for style sheet below.

<style>

h1 { color: green; }

</style> <h1>Surfing is Awesome!</h1>

Hi roger,

This is how the preview works. It';ll preview the colour you specify whether it's by it's keyword, rgba of hexadecimal value. :-)

Hi Jonathan, many thanks for the fast reply, much obliged. Perhaps I formulated my question wrong, as I don't understand your answer.

What I meant to say was, that in the teaching video while creating the css stylesheet in workspace, Nick hovers with his mouse over the word 'blue' and then appears a blue color in a box above the word blue.

This is before showing the coding in a browser. When I hover over the word green in my workspace, this does not happen. thanks again Roger

That might have been a web graphic as part of the video but not a part of workspaces. The color preview doesn't display the text value, just the colour of the CSS property. :-)
