I thought setting the color of the first and second level headlines is as: h1, h2 {color:ffffff;}

So I'm in the code challenge - and I can't proceed because the code checker says that this is wrong:

h1, h2 {

   color: ffffff;

}

Colors are hexadecimal values. A "#" is required to indicate your use of hexadecimal.

color: #FFFFFF;
