13,958 PointsIs there another css declaration from somewhere else overwriting your declaration for the background color? Although it's not a best practice, try adding !important to your css and see if that helps. If so, you may have to hunt down what is overriding your css.
h1, h2 {
background: green !important;
}
You could also try getting more specific with your css by using background-color instead of background.

4,612 PointsI know this is delayed, but! I was having the same issue. My h1 and h2 were fine until this part of the lesson. I just scrolled through my text and realized that several of my selectors at the bottom of the file were highlighted red. I realized that I forgot to add a closed curly bracket } to one of my CSS rules! Maybe you were having the same problem.
