I think when they ask for a "color of your choosing", they mean a "new color of your choosing". Black is the default, so setting it black makes it look like you didn't set it.

:point_right: Choose a color other than the default (black).

Also, while not a problem this time, add new code after the provided code (unless directed otherwise).

Thank you

Here is a couple of issues that I have found.

Your code reads,

img {
  max-width:100%

It needs to look like this,

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

On the above statement you forgot to add a semicolon ";" at the end of the line. Also this is not really necessary but you have a lot of places where you forgot to add a space after the colons ":". Adding a space after to colons allows for easier readability.

Also in the h1 rule yours reads:

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

It needs to look like this,

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

Anytime you have a two word font family that is separated by a space you need to include it inside either single quotes ' ' or double quotes " ".

Another readability issue that I have found includes this one. your script reads,

}
#gallery {
  margin:0;
    padding:0;
    list-style:none;
}

For better readability on your script you need to keep the properties aligned to the same tab stop and not how it is above. Also please add a blank line under the last curly brace "}" after your css statements.
