The code checker is complaining that I didn't set the color of the list items in my gallery.

Here's my code:

'''css

gallery li {

float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #fff; color: #000; } '''

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}


img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
}

You will have to change the color value to a different color.

Currently the browser has already set the font to #000; (black). If you change the color slightly (#111); It will work.

For example:

#gallery li { float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #fff; color: #111;

Yup; I'm too boring I guess. It needed to see that the color had been changed.
