Also to change text color it's just color:
Everyone has made that mistake before.

3,856 Points@media (max-width: 1020px) {} .main-header { background-color: tomato; color: white;
Mark Sebeck
Treehouse Moderator 37,901 PointsIs this for task 1? You don't need the {} after the max width but you need to close } at the very end.
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
.main-header {
background-color: tomato;
color: white;
}

Treehouse Moderator 37,901 PointsThen for part 2 just create a new media query for 768px and target the .title class and h1 element and change their font-size

Treehouse Moderator 37,901 PointsYou’re welcome. Don’t give up on css. It can be very frustrating at times.
