Why is my code not working?

The body is coded white but it shows orange when previewed. Body is at the bottom of the page and under the selector #wrapper which is way above the body code is given the styling of background-color: orange.

body { background-color: #fff; color: #999; }

Hi Marguerite, would you post a snapshot of your Workspace? That way we might be better able to help figure out why the CSS isn't working like it should be.

Here's a helpful link on Workspace snapshots: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/workspace-snapshots

Thanks so much for looking at my code. My son looked at it and helped me figure out what was wrong and how to correct it. Again thanks to you guys
