Stucked on challenge task question

Hi,

I seem to be specifying the correct background color and correct CSS code, but I keep on getting the same "Bummer! Did you specify the correct background color?" Here is my input:

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

Am I making a mistake I am not seeing?

Thanks a lot!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (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">

When writing a selector for a CSS class (such as "main-header"), the class name must be preceded by a period (".").
