I am really stuck with pass color value #fof8ff to @include button please help!!!

I have tried to add color: #fof8ff; to both a and within the @mixin button { but nothing is passing the code! Would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks

style.scss
$btn-background: #dc143c;

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
@mixin button {
font-size: 1.25em;
background-color: $btn-background;
@content;
}

a {
  color: #fof8ff;
  @include button;
}

You have an o in place of a 0

color: #fof8ff; should be color: #f0f8ff;

Hexadecimal values only go from 0-9 and A-F, I hope that helps!
