Hi Phineas,

You spelled color wrong. The CSS selector is color not colour.

Hope that helps, Cosmin

You browser can only understand the USA version of "color" as opposed to the English version with a U "colour", I still accidently make that mistake to this day lol

With regard to plain text either version is correct.
