422 PointsBackground is still orange even after deleting that element! How to fix this?
I've deleted the element that changes the background color to orange but it is still orange. What is wrong?

18,036 PointsWithout seeing your code, my best guesses are:
1) Make sure you are refreshing the page when you test the change.
2) See if the object is inheriting the orange color from a parent somewhere.

422 PointsBy the way, those css tags are also not working. Is there perhaps a bug?

Make sure the color is removed in both normalize.css and style.css files. I am seeing at the top of your code there that you have two CSS style sheets. (Just in case, I once applied an element to one sheet when it was supposed to be applied to the other)
