I'm getting stuck on the rainbow[i] part
var rainbow = document.getElementById('li')
var colors = ["#C2272D", "#F8931F", "#FFFF01", "#009245", "#0193D9", "#0C04ED", "#612F90"];
for(var i = 0; i < colors.length; i ++) {
rainbow[i].style.color = colors[i];
}

listItems = document.querySelectorAll('#rainbow li');

15,287 PointsBefor ethe for loop runs you need to assign the listItems variable to a list of items in the dom. So you'll have to select all the li nested inside the #rainbow.
Something like the following
listItems = document.querySelectorAll('Your selection goes here');
