Why isn't this correct? In preview it is correct.

For some reason the css isn't letting me pass even when in preview it is correct. Any ideas?

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Display Modes</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">  
        <header class="main-header">
            <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">My Work</a></h1>
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>

        <div class="primary col">

            <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
            <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>

OK so I was using margin-left instead of margin-right.
