--description--

You can set an element's background color with the background-color property.

For example, if you wanted an element's background color to be green, you'd put this within your style element:

.green-background {
background-color: green;
}

--instructions--

Create a class called silver-background with the background-color of silver. Assign this class to your div element.

--hints--

Yourdiv element should have the class silver-background.

assert($('div').hasClass('silver-background'));

Your div element should have a silver background.

assert($('div').css('background-color') === 'rgb(192, 192, 192)');

A class named silver-background should be defined within the style element and the value of silver should be assigned to the background-color property.

assert(code.match(/\.silver-background\s*{\s*background-color\s*:\s*silver\s*;?\s*}/));
