If color green was already assigned to the anchor: a { color: #6ab47b; } At the end of this video, the body was assigned color grey:
body { background-color: #fff; color: #999; } But the anchor is inside the body and it was not affected by the new color. Why it is not affected? I thougth the last line you code is the las orther workspaces is going to follow, and the body is the whole document

It kind of goes in this order (least specific to most):
- parent element (div)
- element (ul)
- class (.my-list)
- class with element (ul.my-list)
- ID (#your-list)
