Hi Lane.

You want to write a hexadecimal colour. If memory serves me rightly it wants to be in the 3 digital shorthand.

A hexadecimal colour is written in Base 16 numbering system. It has values for red, green and blue to make up all the different colour shades.

Base 16 means it doesn't go from 0 to 9. But from 0 to 9 and A to F. The higher the value the brighter the shade of colour.

So to get white you'd write.

color: #fff;

to get white

color: #000;

to get black.

Hope this helps :)

You need to start with 1 or 2 new css statements.

Remember the syntax:

Selector { Whatever you want the selector to do }

In you case you want to call the l1 headline and give it a color. So your selector is 'l1'

L1 {

}

In the curly braces you set the color you want your headline to have as specified above. Then you need to write the same statement calling the second selector.
