CSS Workspace Help

Ok so when im working on how to built a website and you type out a property, it doesnt change to the color anymore the text stays black. if some one could help me so thats all the css properties go back to the color, so you know you typed a correct proprty, maybe its a keyboard shortcut to turn that feature off idk. Thanks in advance.

Check your selector. In the case you have provided above, "Class" should be written ".Class" You need a period in front of the name of your class in your css to properly select it. "puppies" is obviously an invalid property for width. If you look in your developer tools, the browser will cancel it out and likely have a small caution symbol next to the line indicating the syntax is invalid.
