Flash messages displaying without color

I am trying to display a flash error message on invalid email/password input:

Snippet of the layout:

<% flash.each do |key, value| %>
    <div class="alert alert-<%= key %>"><%= value %></div>
<% end %>

Controller:

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
    def create
        user = User.find_by(email: params[:sessions][:email].downcase)
        if user && user.authenticate(params[:sessions][:password])
            # Sign the user in and redirect to the user's show page.
        else
            flash.now[:error] = "Invalid email/password combination"
            render 'new'
        end 
    end
end

But I get the above flash message as plain black text, when it should be red with stylized background.

Only :success displays the value(flash message) in green plain text, rest of the keys show plain text.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?

If you're using bootstrap, try using flash.now[:danger] instead of flash.now[:error]
