Is it the below text in a h1 tag that should be white letters?

<h1> Lake Tahoe, California</h1>

Where you are targeting it with the following css - I think you just need to fix your comments:

/* bad comment - space between slash and * */
h1 { 
  font-size: 5.625rem; / * 90px / 16px * / 
  color: white;
} 
/* good comment */
h1 { 
  font-size: 5.625rem;  /* 90px / 16px */ 
  color: white;
}
