[SOLVED]. When styling the body tag in the css file it's highlighted red and the styling isn't applied. why is this?

my body tags are opened and closed as they should be so i don't understand why its highlighted red in the css file and the styling isn't applied. I currently don't have any other body styling in place so i don't know why its not "recognizing" body in css. Please help!

thanks imouto, I figured it out. I hadn't completed the declaration above body by ending it with a }. this kept the body tag from being styled. Thanks!
