Hi.
When I set
.intro {
font-size: 1.25em;
line-height: 1.6;
color: initial;
}
the introductory paragraph didn't change to black. Any idea why please?

Treehouse TeacherNow, I know this is going to sound like a silly question. Are you 110% sure you saved the file? When I fork the workspace, this is the rule I see:
.intro {
font-size: 1.25em; /* 20px/16px */
line-height: 1.6;
}
The color: initial; is missing entirely from this section, which makes me think the file didn't get properly saved after you edited it. Try forking the workspace and take a look. When I add in that line, save the file, and refresh the preview, it works. But right now, because it's missing, it's inheriting the font color from the body.
Looking forward to your response!

33,235 PointsHi Jennifer. Thanks for the quick response. Here's the snapshot you asked for:
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

33,235 PointsUnfortunately, Workspaces has shut down of its own accord a few times, but I've forked the workspace and the color: initial; line is there, so why it's not appearing at your end, I don't know. Anyway, I'll send you a link to the forked workspace:
https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/31941122
Hopefully this will help.
Cheers

Treehouse TeacherUnfortunately, that link does not work for me. That workspace link is private to you. The only thing we can really do is fork a snapshot. But open up the snapshot you linked to me yourself and take a look. That line is simply not there in that snapshot. Also, you never confirmed that you saved the file.

33,235 PointsHi.
It seems you were right. I've added the line and saved the file. I've taken another snapshot. I previewed the web page and it seems to be okay now.
Here's the new snapshot:
Does that line appear at your end now?
Thanks for your patience
Sean

Treehouse TeacherYup! The line is there and everything looks fine. The text is black just as I would expect. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than for whatever reason, the file simply did not get saved with the changes, but it seems to be in good working order now!

Treehouse TeacherHi there, this is probably going to be easiest to troubleshoot if we can see a snapshot of your workspace. But before you do that, try either clearing your browser cache or viewing in a private tab and see if this fixes the issue. There's always the chance that your browser is loading in a cached version of the code.
