Hi there!

You aren't closing the first media query, resulting in the CSS becoming invalid. Count out the brackets in your first Media Query and you'll see where things are going wrong.

Hi Michael,

You're simply missing the closing curly brace from your first media query.

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
} /* missing this closing brace */
