What am I doing wrong?

I cannot finish the objective in the Gradient code challenge. I think the code is right, but the code challenge says I'm not putting in the right direction. I've tried 'from bottom to top' , 'to top' , and many other variations.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient( to top, steelblue, darkslateblue, 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

You're very close. The 90% is part of the last color and so there is not a comma there.

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