Why is it so?

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Taras Kuzyk ! The first part of the question asks you to change the background color, which you're doing, but it's not changing it to the color it asked for. Take a look again at the color value presented in the instructions:
Add an attribute to set its background to #ffaa0000.
The second set of instructions asks you to change the text color to white, which is what you've set the background to now. So you will need a line that starts with this:
android:textColor
I think you can get it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck!
