Error in Sass when I use npm run watch

[OluyemiJ]

Hi,

I have the following error when I run npm run watch

Error in plugin 'sass'
Message:
assets/sass/_variables.scss
Error: Invalid CSS after "$purpleDark": expected 1 selector or at-rule, was ": #312D
45"
on line 2 of assets/sass/_variables.scss
from line 4 of assets/sass/main.scss

$purpleDark: #312D45

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

it might be you need to close it with a semicolon at the end
$purpleDark: #312D45;
