1,533 PointsIt keeps saying you need a color?
I dont know what Im doing wrong but It keeps saying "be sure to set the color for gallery list items to a color of your choosing. I ALREADY DID THAT!!! please help.
Here is the code.
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000
}
#gallery li a p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5%;
font-size: 0.75 em;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000
}
```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: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000
}
#gallery li a p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5%;
font-size: 0.75 em;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000
}

I think you may have found a bug in the challenge. Your answer of
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000;
}
should work. Although you may have missed off the semicolon at the end of that color line.
For some reason the challenge doesn't like you using
color: #000;
I found that changing it to any other valid colour code worked. So just try picking a different colour and see if that passes.

1,533 PointsThanks for the help! it worked and now I can move on :) I was very frustrated to say the least.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsJust in case you are wondering, it didn't pass with #000
because text, by default, is already black. So, when you put in #000
and the checker ran the code, it saw black text and figured that nothing was changed and threw the Bummer!
Challenges can be really picky sometimes.
Keep Coding! :)

16,510 PointsI'd wondered if #000 was a little too default, but I was just thinking that it does say pick a colour of my choosing and I'm picking black damn it :-)
