Your CSS works ok for me when I paste it on to the end of the provided CSS in the workspace. If you post your full HTML/CSS we might be able to spot the issue.

Even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Tried to type "blue" where the hexadecimal number is located in ".tag{}", but ever time I refresh the syntax it shows the hexadecimal number(light grey).

I did not have a problem changing the background. After making the edit, I saved the changes (you can use "save" in the "file" menu or the shortcut Ctrl-S). Then I refreshed the page. Note the only the prevew page was refreshed, not the workspace page.

Hi Raheem! Everything looks good. Did you try saving your work? That could be why it is not showing up. Happy coding. Hope this helps!
