foodLabel.textColor = Color.BLUE
drinkLabel.textColor = Color.GRAY
I don't know where in the lesson it says that, but this was answered elsewhere and that was what worked.

10,429 PointsMake sure to capitalize 'Text' when using 'setTextColor'. That being said, it still doesn't work. I am flummoxed as well. I've tried what you've got and I was sure it was right. I tried using foodTextView in lieu of foodLabel. I tried using setTextColor(Color.BLUE) instead. I've tried all sorts of wrong answers, but I am absolutely sure the right one is
But it says it's wrong! I'm confused.
