Your CSS is fine but you have an HTML problem.

The earlier tasks let you get away with it, but you accidentally consumed the paragraph contents (including the span) in the paragraph tag when you added the class to it:

      <p class="intro"

You need to replace the closing angle (>) that was removed from the tag.
