Hi

Looking at your code you seem to be missing one closing curly brace after the color: white;

This will close the .main-header rule .

Good Luck.

@media (max-width: 1020px){ .main-header { background: tomato; color: white; } }

You did not close out your media query correctly, so the entire .main-header selector was cancelled out. Add the trailing } to your media query and you should pass the challenge.

Hi there,

The second media query is fine. Like Jeffrey Lego mentioned, it looks like you're missing the closing } in the top media query. Because of that, the browser can't read the CSS in the second media query. :)
