8,772 PointsIncorrect Assignment Parameters on Task 4
The assignment task was to change the color of the text and background to any color of MY choosing. However, that is NOT the case. You MUST choose #f5f5f5 for the text and #bdc3c7 for the background colors. You should probably update the assignment text to reflect this since it doesn't work with choosing your own colors.

11,679 PointsWhat values did you try Jack? I was able to get this to pass with the following CSS:
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #123ABC;
color: lime;
}
