Hey friends, Can you spot my error on this very basic media query? Thanks

I'm getting an error of incorrect font size. Looks fine to me.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  .h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

@media (max-width:1020px) {
  .main-header {
    color:white;
    background-color:tomato;
  }
}

@media (max-width:768px) {
  .title {
    font-size:1.4rem; 
  }

  h1 {
    font-size:5rem;
  }
}

Not really a mistake, but maybe try background-color instead of background?

Thanks the response Brian! Actually, I wasn't selecting the h1 element correctly.
