Can't get past challenge #2

I know I have the code right (or at least I think I do):

li:nth-child(3) { color: white ; background-color: #FF6347; }

But it says I'm wrong.

Answers?

I think, you need to add new rule (new line) and remove the color property.

Just like this.

li:nth-child(3) { background-color: #FF6347; }

Yes, I totally done f**ked up with reading that. Keywords: Create a new rule and not modify the rule on challenge one. Bad assumption.

Thanks a bunch sir, I just past the challenge.
