Sass color variables return invalid css error.

I am working on project 4 in front-end development and every time I declare a color variable it returns an error. I've had errors in terminal/console and scout.

If I write: $white: #fff; I get: Invalid CSS after "$white": expected 1 selector or at-rule, was ": #fff;" _variables.scss

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

Are you using Sass or Sassy CSS? The syntax is different. scss is Sassy CSS.

I think I figured it out. I may have had a corrupt file because I made a new file and copied and pasted the exact contents and it started to work. Thank you for the help!
