code:

wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
p { color: #000; }

5,585 PointsHm, beats me..
Are you using Chrome on OS X? I think I read something about it being buggy atm. Maybe try a different browser or a restart of the browser.
You can also try typing out the full hexadecimal value (#FFFFFF), or maybe just in caps (#FFF).
I just took the challenge and succeeded using the shorthand hexadecimal value in caps (#FFF).
I can see nothing wrong with your code.
