--description--

The bars are in the right position, but they are all the same black color. SVG has a way to change the color of the bars.

In SVG, a rect shape is colored with the fill attribute. It supports hex codes, color names, and rgb values, as well as more complex options like gradients and transparency.

--instructions--

Add an attr() method to set the fill of all the bars to the color navy.

--hints--

The bars should all have a fill color of navy.

js
const rect = document.querySelector('rect');
assert.exists(rect); 
const fill = window.getComputedStyle(rect)['fill'];
assert.strictEqual(fill, 'rgb(0, 0, 128)');
