media query quiz has got me stumped

task:

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.

response:

Bummer! Make sure you're querying a browser width of 1020px or narrower.

style.css 
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
    .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>

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

It looks like you typed in a max-width of 1024px instead of 1020px.
