Can anyone take a look at this please

Not sure why my for loop is not working . I have used color and backgroundColor properties. Neither one worked.

app.js 
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs=section.children;

for (let i= 0; i < paragraphs.length; i ++) {
     paragraphs[i].style.Color ='blue';
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
            <p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
        </section>
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; 2016</p> 
        </footer>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

You were really close! JavaScript is case-sensitive and the property name is "color" (lower case "c") instead of "Color" (capital "C").

try putting a space between these words let paragraphs=section.children; ie let paragraphs = section.children;

That does look nicer, but it's not an error to omit the spaces.
