Media Queries, First Badge, First Code Challenge

For the "Media Features and Media Types" code challenge (after the very first video) I seem to be stuck. On Code challenge 1 of 3, I've looked over my code over and over again for errors and have seen nothing wrong, but I keep getting back an error message "did you enter the correct background color" when I have. I just wanted to check and make sure this wasn't a bug or something that anyone else has encountered.

Hi Paul, Besides your background color did you check to see if you included your text color as well?

Okay, I figured out my problem. I realized I needed two sets of curly braces. Thanks everyone for offering to help!

I got the same thing. But I had just misspelled media.

I'm having the same issue.

It doesn't look like it's a bug or anything after all. I re-watched the last seven minutes of the video and I saw my problem. I made an adjustment and passed the challenge. If you want to post your code, though, I could help!

I'm stucked! Here's my code, please help:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {{ background: #FF6347; color: white; } }
