When applying the "li" selector, the "color: tomato" property doesn't apply to the h3 elements.

When applying the "li" selector, the "color: tomato" property doesn't apply to the h3 elements inside the li like in the video (03:07). Only becomes red the starting point sign. The text still Olive.

Specifically to the h3 lines:

  • Super Web design shop.
  • Pretty Good Websites.

Am I missing something? Please help!

Sorry! I found out why. \

My CSS code what using the universal selector ( * ) to color olive. Later, I could see in a video, the teacher was with the paragraph selector ( p ). That solved the problem.
