Create a media query challenge

Challenge Task 1 of 2

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.

Bummer: Did you specify the correct background color?

style.css
index.html

@media(max-width: 1020px); {

.main-header {

background: tomato;

color: white;

}

}

​BUMMER is right--what am I doing wrong?

style.css 
@media(max-width: 1020px); {
.main-header {
  background: tomato;
  color: white;
}
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

Just a typo. Delete the semicolon from the first row in your css code.

I deleted the semicolon and now it says I don't have the correct text color

Please show your code now, because if I delete the semicolon your code is working fine to me.

try using "background-color: tomato;". Doing that and deleting the semi-colon should do it
