Can someone explain why my background color is changing?

When I place the closing nav under the last ul instead of under the p class='intro' element the blue background is only in the nav and not behind the image and as background behind the p element.

Can someone explains why that is happening?

Hi René

You cannot place the closing nav after the ul. The closing nav has to be after the closing div (with class="border clearfix"). As this div is a child of the nav. It's this error that will cause the blue background color to only be in the nav.

<nav>
  <div class="border clearfix">
    <ul>
      <li></li>
      <li></li>
      <li></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>

I hope this helps.
