Courses Plus Student 1,091 Pointsnth-of-type Question
I have to alternate between the color grey and the color blue for a day's schedule. I have to do this for an aside element.
For odd numbered h2 and paragraphs, I need to set the font color to rgb(79, 91, 40).
For even numbered h2 and paragraphs, I need to set the font color to rgb(81, 95, 175).
Below is my current code (Right now its making all the h2 blue, and all the paragraphs gray).
aside#tour_itinerary > h2:nth-child(odd){ color: rgb(255, 255, 255); }
aside#tour_itinerary > h2:nth-child(even){ color: rgb(81, 95, 175); }
aside#tour_itinerary > p:nth-child(even){ color: rgb(81, 95, 175); }
aside#tour_itinerary > p:nth-child(odd) { color: rgb(79, 91, 40); }

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Ironically, the answer to your question is in your question. Your question contains nth-of-type, but it is nowhere to be found in your code. I took the liberty of making a codepen which does what I think you want it to. Take a look
Hope this helps!
