Is this bugged? I did set the last child to azure and passed task 2. On task 3 they want evens to be blue and they are..

I'm confused

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
li:first-child {
  color: white;
}

li:last-child {
  color: azure;
}

li:nth-child(even) {
  color: dodgerblue;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>

The instructions say to "Set the background color ...", but this code is setting "color" (foreground) instead.
