I can't get the font on my basic website to change color.

I think the problem is in the html and not the css but Im not entirely sure. What would cause this problem?

TJ Littlejohn - It's hard to say without seeing your CSS, why don't you create a codepen so we can see the bigger picture.

I did notice in the code you pasted in you have no <html> or <head> tags.

TJ Littlejohn - Sounds like clearing your browser cache should fix the issue for you.
