25,370 PointsIt seems like the test for this is checking if the font is any color other than black. So you're failing the test because you're choosing a pure black text color. I tested this code and it worked:
#gallery li {
float: left;
max-width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
color: #111;
background: #998977;
}

3,198 PointsThe default color is already black, so you're not changing anything. If you specify at the beginning of the CSS that all li within the HTML are some other color (li {color:blue;}) then it becomes necessary to change the text color later if you want a different color in a different list. But from the code you posted, you did not.
