My css stays in the color of mediumorchid, can't change it

I tried erasing the "color: mediumorchid" from the styles.css file and even tried "color: black". I cannot get rid of the mediumorchid color for my text. Do you have any advice?

Kortney Field Did you refresh the page? If that didn't work then try a hard refresh. On a mac this is the following keys: "cmd shift R" and on a Windows "ctrl R". If that doesn't work, include your code and I will look over it.

It's actually "ctrl shift R" for Windows.

Sometimes your browser still tries to reference the original version of the css file so you need to do a hard refresh to fix it!

hard refresh for mac is Command(⌘)-Option-R.
