The task asks you to change the background color and text color of the main-header class, it does not ask you to select or modify the p element.

As such the color property should be specified the .main-header rule just like the background-color property. And the p selector is not needed at all. Like this:

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