Freecodecamp: Invalid hex color in instructions

Created on 27 Aug 2016  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp

Challenge Name

Use Hex Code to Mix Colors

Issue Description

The hex value for dodger blue is noticeably different, and quite far from the established dodger blue. It should be changed from #2998E4 to #1E90FF to represent the true web standard for dodger blue.

Hello, I'm a fairly junior developer who recently started working full time. I'm looking to get more involved in the open-source community and since I'm a huge proponent of self-learning, I thought this would be a great project contribute to. I've heard a lot about FreeCodeCamp in podcasts and look forward to contributing!

I just submitted a PR to fix this issue (and my branch passed all the npm tests :)).

The color was updated in the challenge, but now the challenge is broken, it don't accept any dodger blue colors
