Doesn't the style need to select an HTML element for the color to be applied to?

I'm no CSS expert but that's my first thought! I'm probably wrong.

Hi, Tim. If you rewatch the video previous to this challenge right at the 6:50 mark, Nick has almost the exact same markup that you need. (Hint: you're missing your selector.) Also, pay attention to the challenge instructions; you have the wrong colour.

Agree with Ryan. I just did the challenge and the points we've raised are where you need to have a look.

Make sure you select the right tag and choose the right colour. That's all that you're missing.

Shout if you're struggling; happy to help further!
