.main-header{
  background-color: orange;
  {

Your main-header section has two { rather than one { and one }. You should change the second { to }.

The line '#'main-heading{ starts with '#' rather than a class or id selector. If main-heading was an id, you would use #main-heading{. Since it is a class, use .main-heading{.

main-heading and main-header are both classes in your html file, so the markup for your css file should be the same color where you select them.
