Hi Christie,

At this stage, nothing on that code is specific to mobile. That particular lesson is about comments and how they help you making your code more readable.

Basically he is putting a comment there saying, "this is the color the background navigation will have on mobile". Once he starts coding the css for the mobile version, he will look at that comment and know that that piece of code is for mobile only.

Got it, thanks! Makes sense. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
