How to get background to turn blue after typing " blue" in the CSS code area? because it is not working for me

when viewing the video lesson was to change a small background of Jane Smith's profile from grey to blue, however this did not work for me even after following every step. on the computer of the instructor's tag name code was #e2e2e2; on my computer it was #efefef; So I don't know if that may be the reason why it did not work for me. I was not able to change the background of "Hello, I'm Jane" form grey to blue. please help and thank you

Hi Sheku! Click File, then save and refresh. Voila! When you become a famous web developer remember this moment, don't forget about the little people! :)

I don't remember actually giving the instruction to SAVE it. If she did, I missed it and so did some others I saw lots of people asking this same question.
