The code is not passing for this Challenge even though it is correct?

Hi, I am trying to do this challenge and my code is as follows:

public class GoKart { public String mColor = "red"; } public String getColor() { return mColor; }

I am sure that this code is correct, but cannot understand why it is passing. Plus, I understand the "string" part is not capitalised, I am just trying different things.

GoKart.java 
public class GoKart {
  public String mColor = "red";
}
public String getColor() {
  return mColor;
}
