input[type="submit"] {
color:white;
background-color:steelblue;
}

a {
color: darkred;
}

4,419 Pointsthat did not work it is the .submit{color:white; background-color:steelblue;} part that needs to be fixed. here are the instructions Finally, add a new attribute selector that will target the submit button. Set the text color to white and the background color to steelblue and here is what it is saying Bummer! Please check your attribute selector, make sure background-color is set to 'steelblue'.
