Why when we changed we changed the body text color to grey but the description of the pictures still in green? In CSS you first have to target the DOM element that you want to alter. It is possible that you had a nested element, so that when you went to alter the body element, the description element would not have been effected either. Check back on your syntax, this may be the case.

Because you gave a class or ID to a div or p and it didn't change the color text... Checkl your HTML and review the CSS code.
