This quiz cannot read the colors I am entering. Im going to restart the quiz but is there a glitch that others face?

I enter

gallery li {

background-color: #ADD8E6; }

The quiz will not let me move on from this question saying I need to enter a background-color. very confusing!

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

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

img {
  max-width:100%;
}

#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;
}

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

#gallery li{
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #ADD8E6;
}

Can you paste in the full question? Because you might need to set the background color on gallery, not gallyer li, i don't know.

Hi Valerie,

Yes the error message is kind of confusing. The issue isn't with the background color. If you read the challenge again they ask you to change the text color and the background color. That is why it's not passing.

Good luck.
