Challenge 4 of 4

I can't seem to spot what I am doing wrong on this last challenge. I got the rest correct and the background is working in my webpage I created when I followed along, but, this is not working. Thanks.

/* Write your CSS below */
body {
  font-family:'Nunito', sans-serif;
  color: #FAF3BC;
  background-color: #420600; url('img/texture.png') repeat;
}

Hi Sherry.

If they want you to code for a background image and a back up color you should use the propertyr that will allow you to enter values for image and color (and repeat too if you need it).. Background-color will not take a url value. You can have all the value you have now but use the background property. Watch the shorthand syntax though. You have the order right but you have an unnecessary semicolon between two of your shorthand values

Hi Sherry,

Repeat is not needed for the code challenge but background-image: is.

Thanks! I got it to work correctly, but I am not sure which is the unnecessary semi colon. Is it after the #420600. Sorry I a not sure about the vocabulary yet.

Hi Sherry.

You had 

 #420600; url('img/texture.png') repeat;

But the correct shorthand for background values would be the values with spaces between. The semi colon after the color should not be there. So you would have

background: #420600 url('img/texture.png') repeat;
