media query

"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."

Where did i go wrong exactly?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

Hi Hazuki,

Remove the 'screen and' part and that should sort it.

Hope that helps.

Try changing the media type to "all"

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