body element not recognized in code

For some reason the workspace is highlighting the 'body' element with red and the media query is not working, but I am not sure what could be wrong with it:

@media screen and {min-width: 480px) { body { background:navy;}

}

Thank you in advance.

If you wrote the code as you copied it in your comments, it looks like you've used a { instead of ( before your min-width declaration!

@media screen and {min-width: 680px) { body { background:navy;}

in the bold area above you have to different brackets. Happens to the best of us.
