## Description
<section id='description'>
You can use CSS <code>@keyframes</code> to change the color of a button in its hover state.
Here's an example of changing the width of an image on hover:
<blockquote>&lt;style&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;img:hover {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;animation-name: width;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;animation-duration: 500ms;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;@keyframes width {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;100% {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;width: 40px;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&lt;/style&gt;<br><br>&lt;img src=&quot;https://bit.ly/smallgooglelogo&quot; alt=&quot;Google's Logo&quot; /&gt;</blockquote>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Note that <code>ms</code> stands for milliseconds, where 1000ms is equal to 1s.
Use CSS <code>@keyframes</code> to change the <code>background-color</code> of the <code>button</code> element so it becomes <code>#4791d0</code> when a user hovers over it. The <code>@keyframes</code> rule should only have an entry for <code>100%</code>.

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The @keyframes rule should use the <code>animation-name</code> background-color.
    testString: assert(code.match(/@keyframes\s+?background-color\s*?{/g), 'The @keyframes rule should use the <code>animation-name</code> background-color.');
  - text: There should be one rule under <code>@keyframes</code> that changes the <code>background-color</code> to <code>#4791d0</code> at 100%.
    testString: assert(code.match(/100%\s*?{\s*?background-color:\s*?#4791d0;\s*?}/gi), 'There should be one rule under <code>@keyframes</code> that changes the <code>background-color</code> to <code>#4791d0</code> at 100%.');
