background color

I'm setting my background color to "black" and it appears to be working in the preview mode; however, the quiz keeps telling me that I need to set it to "black."

Hey Patrick,

You mind including the code so we can see whats going on?

Thanks Alexander,

I just figured it out. I was using the wrong selector in the quiz (ul:first-child instead of li:first-child). When I checked my answer, it gave me the message "Bummer: the color is supposed to be set to "black," or something similar.

I was confused, because my color was set accordingly. But I guess the problem was really my use of the wrong selector. I guess the quiz just gave me a prepared response that didn't really match the error in my code.

Thanks for your help.
