My css property is not green like yours...why is this?

Using the font-family property just as you are exactly, I get it in black and the value 'Changa One' is green. why is that?

I think you need to give the font a color if I'm understanding this correctly?

color: #yourvalue;

eg. color: #63c960;

What I have noticed now that I have taken a look at Nicks workstation window a little closer is that all of his properties are green while his values are black. Mine is the exact opposite. I dont remember seeing this difference before. In fact if memory serves, when I first started the course my properties were color-coded with values in black...
