Not sure why this linear-gradient is wrong?

.main-header{ background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue 0%, darkslateblue 90%); } my answer above is not correct and I don't know why

Try removing the 0% for the first colour stop. There's nothing inherently wrong with having the first stop position value in practice but it the answer isn't looking for it. 

.main-header{ background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }
