nth-child Pseudo Class Challenge Problem

The challenge (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/pseudoclasses-nthchild) appears straight forward.

Here is my css:

li:nth-child(even)
{
  background-color: black;
}

It previews perfectly fine -- all even rows are colored black. Any idea what I might be missing? I'm sure its some semantic issue somewhere that isn't exactly how the challenge expects it.

Thanks! ~Mike

Ugh! Nevermind ... my mind kept skipping the requirement for white text color. After reading through it 10 times I finally saw it. :) Sorry.
