Hiya Stefan!

  • First off, You are very close. All ya have to do is remove "li", coz you have already selected id "gallery" of "<li>" tag. So just remove "li".
  • Second off, whenever you want to select any "id" in css, all ya have to do is put "#"(hash) infront on the id name. Whereas, you've to do the same for "class" as well except any class should start with "." (dot) .

So your code should be something like this:

#gallery{
     float: left; 
     width:45%;
     margin:2.5%; 
     background-color:#5f5f5f;
     color:#bdc3c7; 
}

I hope it helped! (:
