Styling h1 with a hexadecimal value

The challenge is asking me to style the first two header levels with a hexadecimal value for white. I've tried #ffffff AND the shorthand #fff and it's giving me the Bummer message anyway....

h1, h2 {

color: #ffffff; }

isn't this the right hexadecimal code?

thanks....

That is the correct hex code and I tried using the same code in the quiz, both #fff and #ffffff and had it work for me. The only solution I can offer you is to refresh the page and try again.

Hey! I think your problem is in h1 and h2 not in color. the right code is : h1, h2 { color:#fff; }

That code should work. I tried it and it accepted it too. Maybe you accidentally changed other selectors? Try refreshing?

Thank you everyone....I removed the rest of code that was in the autograder and dropped the pound sign.

I wish you could all be checked off best.
