# --description--

But what if you wanted to expand the shadow out further? You can do that with the optional `spreadRadius` value:

```css
box-shadow: offsetX offsetY blurRadius spreadRadius color;
```

Like `blurRadius`, `spreadRadius` defaults to `0` if it isn't included.

Practice by adding a 5 pixel shadow directly around the blue marker.

In the `.blue` CSS rule, add the `box-shadow` property with the values `0` for `offsetX`, `0` for `offsetY`, `0` for `blurRadius`, `5px` for `spreadRadius`, and `blue` for `color`.

# --hints--

Your `.blue` CSS rule should have a `box-shadow` shorthand property and with the value `0 0 0 5px blue`.

```js
assert(new __helpers.CSSHelp(document).getStyle('.blue')?.boxShadow === 'blue 0px 0px 0px 5px');
```
