I believe i have this coded correctly but it won't let me proceed.

the "Bummer!" is saying that I have not given the list items a background color?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width:100%;  
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
}

#gallery li {
   float: left;
   max-width: 45%;
   margin: 2.5%;
   background-color: red;
}

Indeed, when I run your code, I get the bummer asking for a background-color. But that error is misleading. The actual problem here is that you've forgotten to change the text color as well as specified by the challenge instructions.

So if I just include a rule to change the text color (without changing the rest of your code), it passes! 

#gallery li {
   float: left;
   max-width: 45%;
   margin: 2.5%;
   color: yellow;
   background-color: red;
}

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
