nth-child help

Hello, I don't quite understand what I am doing wrong. The code I am putting in seems to be giving me the results that it is asking of me, but it is telling me that I am not fulfilling the requirements. Could someone help me on this or push me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
li:nth-child(1){
 color: white; 
}

Although what you have works the checker will specifically look for :first-child in task 1.
