Recap Challenge

Part of the Practical Frontend section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 16 of 35.

Challenge

Easy

You are given an HTML page about investing and financial freedom. Your task is to use what you’ve learned about theming:

Primary & Secondary Colors
- Define --primary-color and --secondary-color in :root.
- Use --primary-color for the header and footer backgrounds, and --secondary-color for the body background.
Dark Mode
- Create a .dark-mode class that changes the background, text, and heading colors.
- Test it by manually adding class="dark-mode" to <body>.
Accent Color
- Define --accent-color and use it for the button background color and footer link text color (rgb(249, 168, 37)).
Typography
- Define --h1-size and --h2-size and apply them to headings.

Goal: Make the page look consistent, professional, and easy to read in both light and dark themes.
