I don't know what I'm doing wrong on this css selectors quiz. I need to set the color to #ccc

input [type="password"] { color:#ccc }

what is wrong with this code?

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

img[title="avatar"] {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

input [type="password"] {
  color:#ccc
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <form class="form-contact">
        <img src="avatar.png" title="avatar" alt="">

          <label for="un">Username:</label> 
          <input type="text" id="un">

Kyle,

Make sure you check your spacing and your syntax. As Adam mentioned, you need to add a semi-colon after your property declaration. Additionally, you need to remove the space between input and [type="password"].

You have:

/* notice the space between the tag selector and the attribute selector - remove this */
input [type="password"] {
  /* notice there is no semi-colon after '#ccc' - add one */
  color:#ccc
}

You need:

input[type="password"] {
  color:#ccc;
}

ALL day, no working, please Help.... Next, create a new attribute selector that targets input elements with a type value of password. Then, set the color to #ccc.

Bummer. ! Make sure you're setting the color to '#ccc'.

input[type="password"] { color:#ccc; } input[type="password"] { color: #ccc; }
