I'm assuming the color that is not being taken is #2b1ade for #gallery-li right? If so it is because the word background is misspelled.

Try changing 

#gallery li{
  float: left;
  max-width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  bacground: #2b1ade;
}

to 

#gallery li{
  float: left;
  max-width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background: #2b1ade;
}
