My responsive.css does not work??

I followed what I learned from the video, but it just did not change the background color.

Here is my code:

Index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Mick Allen | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

No need to apologize! However, it might be handy to edit your answer to say what you did to fix the problem so others searching the forums can find your solution.
