I didn't hear the tag for the font color, only the font size, unless the font has has to have a size have a size first?

Does a font need t have a size before it can be given a color? I did not hear that in the video, but the quiz includes this information.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
body {
  text-align: center;
}

p {
  color: lightslategrey;
}

header {
  background-color: orange;
  font-color: white;
}
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>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      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.

    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
      <p>
        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

There is no font-color property - it is just color.

There's no CSS property named font-color like there is for font-size, etc. You just use color like you did with the p tag.
