CSS Styling Hiccup

This may be a quick fix and something that I'm overlooking in my coding, but I have been following the Smells Like Bakin' tutorial and have hit a bump.

The issue is with the styling of the page not responding to the color change command that I placed in my 'style.css' file

In the 'index.html' I have the 'css/normalize.css' then 'grid.css', then the 'Nunito' font like from google then 'style.css' all placed in the head of the html file so the order of the .css files I believe is correct, this is the link structure:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
</head>

and in the style.css

body { 
           font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; 
           color: #FAF3BC;
           }
a { 
     color:#4FB69F;
     text-decoration:none;
}

The only thing that has responded to the styling is the 'font-family' attribute so at least part of my css is responding, does anyone have any ideas?

Note I didn't know how to properly format on this thing so my code isn't on one line.

Could you send me your code. Also you can display code by wrapping it in: `

Remember what CSS stands for?

Look at what you're asking to occur with the color?

Trying not to give you the immediate answer but point you in the right direction, so to learn.

Oh okay problem solved! I decided instead of just refreshing the page to close out the browser and re-open the index.html file and all the styling now is correct now, thanks!
