Create a new type selector that targets the paragraph elements. Add a color property and set the value to lightslategrey

I do not know what I am doing wrong, the first task setting the body to text align center is correct but when I get to the second code challenge I keep getting an error that the task one will not pass? I have watched the video again and not sure where I am making an error.

thanks!

style.css 
p {
  color: lightslategrey;
}


body {
  text-align:center;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <style>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

I just tried, it worked fine:

body {text-align: center;}
p {color: lightslategrey;}

Maybe refresh the page?
