Hey guys,
I typed this in the following code in and the background color was changed to navy but was not the answer the challenge is looking for.
@media screen and (min-width 480px) { body { background-color: navy; } }
Am I missing something here? I tried variations with @media screen only and with min-device-width in parentheses.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Treehouse rocks!

@media screen and (min-width 480px) { body { background: navy; } }

background is the shorthand property for the individual background properties. It's ok to use background-color: navy if all you need to do is set the background color. You can use either one.
The problem here was the missing colon that Luke noted in the comment.

27,534 PointsOk guys, I jumped the gun on submitting a forum discussion.
The missing : between (min-width: 480px) was causing the error.
