Issue, with even or last

I'm getting the error for either not setting the color of the lat element to Azure, or for not setting the even elements to dodgerblue, depending on how I order my CSS.

I believe that both of my CSS psuedo-classes are written correctly.

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
li:first-child {
  color: white;
}

li:nth-child(even) {
  color: dodgerblue;
}

li:last-child {
 color: azure; 
}

You are asked to change the background color of the even list items to dodgerblue, not their font color.
