Task challenge says: Create a media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 1020px or less. Inside the media query, select the .main-header element. Set the background color to tomato and the text color to white.

You have a similar setup media query set up at the bottom of your style.css.

@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; } h1 { font-size: 5rem; }

Basically what you need to do is modify the initial statement by changing how many pixels are checked. Select the main-header class with the class selector ., and then the text color to white

@media (max-width: *Your px here*)  {
    .main-header {
        *Your background color*
        *Your text color*
    }
