It looks like you have extra brackets inside your CSS, and haven't enclosed the media query. The challenge just has a really unhelpful hint that makes it seem like the color wasn't declared correctly..

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
   .main-header{
      background: tomato; 
      color: white; 
   }
}
