How should I write a css rule for a border to have the color red?

Not able to get my border to show up. I have tried putting the width, style and color for the border in different orders to get my border to show as well as specifying border-width, border-style and border-color in the styles.css tab. Curious to find out what I'm doing wrong.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <p class="main-pg"> My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
<style>
.main-pg{
  border: 4px solid red;
} 
</style>
