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

You do not need a semicolon after 480px - remove it and all will be well

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

Try this, hopefully it will work :)

I will break it for you, you were very close to get it done brother. In your normal css you will write to change you background color of the body tag;

Body { background: navy; }

now you have to do the same but inside your query at a certain witdth. so you set the width of the phone : @media screen and (min-width: 480px){

}

but you have to set the body background inside the phone not inside the computer or the tablet.

so

@media screen and (min-width: 480px){

body { background: navy; }

}

You're missing a closing } to close the media query and that is all.

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