I need help with profile colours ;w;

So I need a bit of help. I'm trying to sort out my profile to look a bit less bland, but the colour things aren't working as intended. any help would be appreciated!!

So THIS is what it looks like currently. as you can see, it's not working.



this is what I pasted in my bio, if it helps:

"Hello! >w<

I am nanlegoman914! Or just Nan if that's too long! Just a fan of Pokemon, Mario, Megaman, Sonic, Super Sentai, My Little Pony, and Anime! /)

.profile {   

    background-color: #BAB50F;

}

:root {

    --logo-blue: #A20000;

    --lighter-blue: #EC6D6D;

}"
