I have tried multiple times and ways to as well as watched the video but for some reason it is not working. It is probably something simple.
var listItems = document.querySelectorAll('li #rainbow');
var colors = ["#C2272D", "#F8931F", "#FFFF01", "#009245", "#0193D9", "#0C04ED", "#612F90"];
for(var i = 0; i < colors.length; i ++) {
listItems[i].style.color = colors[i];
}

20,881 PointsIf you look at index.html you see that the ul element with the id 'rainbow' is a is an unordered list element and the li elements inside it are its children. So in your querySelectorAll statement the child is written before the parent but it should be the other way around because you want to select all children of the #rainbow element.
