Welcome back, @maria_ringes!

I’m glad to see your continuing your developer journey on MDN.

Let’s have a look at this exercise:

- Task 1: You deleted the existing `background-color` but the idea is

> To write a declaration in a **new rule** that will reset the background color back to white, without using an actual color value.

- Task 2: No deleting is needed here, either. You should edit the line `@layer yellow, purple, green;` to change the order of the layers.

Feel free to ask if you need more help. 🙂

Michael

Actually, a “new rule” includes also the selector like:

```auto
#outer #inner a {
  background-color: initial;
}

```

But as you correctly used the “initial” keyword, I see you understood the concept. 🙂  
The second task is correctly solved.

Keep up the great work. 👍
