Stuck on Step 3. What am I missing?

Question

Hello - I am stuck on Step 3. My code for Steps 1 to 3 are as follows;

Step 1 set first item in list to white - quiz said this is correct li: first-child { color: white; }

Step 2 set last item in list to azure - quiz said the cumulation of Steps 1 and 2 are correct li: last-child { color: azure; }

Step 3 set even number items in list to dodger blue - taking Steps 1 to 3 cumulatively, the quiz returns the comment "Are you setting the last item in the list to azure?". What am I missing here. Step 2 sets the last-child item to azure and it worked per above. li:nth-child(even) { color: dodgerblue; }

Thank you very much

Faith

Hi there, Faith Wong! You're doing terrific! Step 3 is asking you to set the background color to blue. Not the text color. So you'll need:

background-color: dodgerblue;

Hope this helps!
