I found the problem..
The stylesheet you are linking to (on the index.html page) is in the main directory. But you are linking to a stylesheet in the css/ directory.
Move your stylesheet to the right folder and it works.
-- Your workspace always gets saved.
The code you put in looks right.
To change the body element color you use:
body {
background: orange;
/* or */
background-color: orange;
}
