My student is working on Unit 2 Lesson 6 Mod 11 and wrote this code.

body {
background: white;
}

h2 {
color: #f42b2b;
}

He is tried using just “red” will not change the color. Yes he even refresh the page and still did not work. What am I missing?

Hi rdiaz1,
It worked for me when I tried it.
May we have a look at the index.html file?

    Ok, here is the bug. Either:
    a) rename your .css file to style.css (on the list of files), OR
    b) index.html line 4: change style.css to new.css.
    In other words, your css file name has to match in both places.
    I hope that helps,
    Paul
