You need to put the css in the style.css file, not inline in the HTML.

Hey Paul,

The code is correct, and Caleb is correct about having to use green.

But, it looks like you deleted the <body> tags that are pre-entered when the challenge begins. If you delete any code that was there when the challenge starts, it will not let you pass.

Put those tags back in change the color declaration to green, and you should be good to go.

Keep Coding! :)

Remember to set the color to green, not blue. Hope that works!
