Hi,

You look to have an opening tag instead of a closing tag which is affecting the rest of your styles (in this case the paragraph ones). Try changing:

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
  {

to:

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
  }

Hope that helps

Hi bethjolin ,

You have an opening brace in the first rule where there should be a closing one.

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
  { /* This should be a closing curly brace facing the other way */

p {
    color: #000;
}
