Hey Yue Yu! The question asks to set it to something other than the default colors ;), you unfortunately set it exactly to default, just switch out the Hex for color and background-color and it will work.

Hope that helps, let me know.

Hey,

It says you have to change the text and background colour to other different than the browser's default, which is #000 and #fff respectively. Try with a different colour instead!
