style.css

i am putting in what it tells me but it keeps saying its wrong

In a CSS rule for the body element, you need to set the font-size property to 0.75em, like this: font-size: 0.75em;

style.css 
/***********************************************
Top bar color 
***********************************************/
html {
  border-top: 65px solid #4D7094;}
}

/***********************************************
Body styling 
***********************************************/
body {
  max-width: 600px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px 20px;
  font-size: 0.75em
  line-height: 1.6em;
  font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, serif;
  color: #066;
  font-weight: 300;
}

.centered {
  text-align: right;
}

/***********************************************
Image styling 
***********************************************/
img {
  border-radius: 100%;
  max-width: 340px;
}

/***********************************************
Headline styling 
***********************************************/
h1 {
  font-size: 1.5em;
  line-height: .5em;
  color: #564581;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 1em;
  line-height: 1em;
  font-style: oblique;
  color: #aaa;
}

h3 {
  font-size: .875em;
  line-height: 1em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

h4 {
  margin-top: 60px;
  font-weight: 500;
  color: #564581;
}

You have an extra closing curly brace after your html style, so the rest doesn't process

html {
  border-top: 65px solid #4D7094;} <-- extra
}

and you also forgot to end the css selection with an ;.
