Hey kit prescott

I'm not exactly sure where the error might be occurring without seeing your code but it might just be a simple syntax error. Try checking for a missing curly brace or perhaps a missing semicolon. 

body {
  text-align: center;
}

header {
  background-color: orange;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 72px;
  color: white;
}

p {
  font-size: 20px;
}
