# --description--

You can use CSS `@keyframes` to change the color of a button in its hover state.

Here's an example of changing the width of an image on hover:

```html
<style>
  img:hover {
    animation-name: width;
    animation-duration: 500ms;
  }

  @keyframes width {
    100% {
      width: 40px;
    }
  }
</style>

<img src="https://bit.ly/smallgooglelogo" alt="Google's Logo" />
```

# --instructions--

Note that `ms` stands for milliseconds, where 1000ms is equal to 1s.

Use CSS `@keyframes` to change the `background-color` of the `button` element so it becomes `#4791d0` when a user hovers over it. The `@keyframes` rule should only have an entry for `100%`.

# --hints--

The @keyframes rule should use the `animation-name` background-color.

```js
assert(code.match(/@keyframes\s+?background-color\s*?{/g));
```

There should be one rule under `@keyframes` that changes the `background-color` to `#4791d0` at 100%.

```js
assert(code.match(/100%\s*?{\s*?background-color:\s*?#4791d0;\s*?}/gi));
```
