14,345 PointsHey Calvin,
The problem is with the second 'color' property for the h1, h2 selector. In this CSS the second (i.e later) rule is taking precedence over the first. Meaning that both the h1 and h2 elements are having a color of #000000 (black) applied, rather than #fff (white). Deleting that second color property will solve the problem. In general, you should not have multiple lines/values for the same property within a single selector as only the last one will be applied.

Remember that selecting two different elements in a css rule causes both elements to be styled the same. So, by using only the first color property, both headers would be colored white in this case.

24,815 Points@Maxwell when I changed the color property to apply a different color to the second header it asked to double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value.
