Thinking that I might have done something wrong I reviewed the video and it seems that Nicks web page has done the same. If the body color has changed to grey then surely that includes the text under every picture as well as the footer?

a {
color: #6ab47b;
}
on line 17 of the main.css file.

23,559 PointsColors tend to be inherited by the children of elements that are set initially i.e.
body {
background-color: grey;
color: blue;
}
will, in almost all cases, set the background-color and color of all child elements in body to be those colors as well. Usually, if the expected colors do not exist, it is the result of the color being reset or changed again later in the CSS or in a way that takes higher precedence. Without seeing your code, it's hard to say why you might be experiencing a color issue.

3,011 PointsAs far as I'm aware its the same as what is followed in the video:
a { text-decoration: none; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
a { color: #6ab47b; }
header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68; }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
nav { background: #599a68; }
nav a, nav a:visited { color: #fff; }
nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }
body { background-color: #fff; color: #999; }
