Why isn't my answer being accepted?

I don't know why this code isn't being accepted!

colors.swift
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    let blueColor = UIColor(red: 0/255.0, green: 0/255.0, blue: 255/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
    view.backgroundColor = blueColor
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }


    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated
    }
}

I changed the values of the colors in order for it to pass.

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    let blueColor = UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 255.0, alpha: 1.0)
    view.backgroundColor = blueColor
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }


    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated
    }
}
