Stuck on code challenge:(

"Next, create a new type selector that targets the header element. Set the background color to orange and the text color to white."

Hi guys I need a hand with this, just can't seem to get my head around it. It keeps stating "Bummer! Make sure your setting color to white"

Hi Greg - is your code like below:

header {
background-color: orange;
color: white;
}

This would be what the question seems to be asking for - check your code against it.
