CSS How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Write Hexadecimal Colors

I've written rules to style h1 and h2 headers white but it's not accepted.

h1, h2 { #fff }

What's wrong with the code above?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  #fff;
}

you forgot to select an attribute, all you have listed is a hex code. Try including

color: #fff;

Hi Thuy,

We just had a brief service interruption that may have caused issues with evaluating your code challenge submission. Can you try again?
