I keep getting error that the color of li:last-child is not set to azure.

Hello, this is the following CSS I have entered for all the steps of the challenge li:first-child{ color:white; } li:last-child{ color:azure; } li:nth-child(even){ color:dodgerblue; } but for some reason I get an error for the azure color that is not being set.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
li:first-child{
  color:white;
}
li:last-child{
color:azure;
  }
li:nth-child(even){
color:dodgerblue;
  }

The challenge wants to set li:nth-child(even) and li:nth-child(odd) ** background-color ** and from your code i saw you set color instead, so maybe that is confusing the program.

You're right Dimitar, I am giving myself a facepalm right now....indeed it says the background color. Sometimes the eyes see what they want to see :) Thanks a lot!
