Create a media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 1020px or less. Inside the media query, select the .main-header element. Set the background color to tomato and the text color to white. Bummer! Make sure you're including the @media query expression inside parenthesis.

Just a couple slight errors, nothing too major though!

First of all, you have a slight typo in the @media rule. You have accidentally placed a curly brace instead of a parenthesis before your media query selector -> (max-width: 1020px)

Second, you are missing your opening and closing curly braces for the media query itself, just before and after the main-header rule.

Lastly, to change font color it is just simply color instead of font-color.

So all in all it should look like this :

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

Hope this helps!
