media query issue on the bootstrap Framework Basics

I can't get the media queries to work in the bootstrap framework basics. As soon as I start to type max-width it turns red along with the first curly bracket. I've went through the rest of the code and I don't think I'm missing anything above to cause an error. I'm using the treehouse workspaces. Anyone else have the same error? Same thing occurs on both media sizes.

@media (max-width: 991px) { .jumbotron { padding-top: 120px; padding-bottom: 20px; background-position: 10% 10%; } }

@media (max-width: 767px) { .navbar { min-height: 60px; } .main-logo { width: 82px; margin-top:20px; } .jumbotron { padding-top: 80px; margin-bottom: 32px; } .lead { margin-bottom: 40px; } }
