Text-Shadow bug?

Next, create a new rule that targets .title. Let's also give .title a text shadow by setting the horizontal offset to 1px, the vertical offset to 3px, the blur radius to 0, and the color to #e59740. The question keeps asking me to set the color to #e59740 which I have is my code, but I can't pass the challenge.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;}
.title {text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
