  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {

  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2{
  color: #ffffff;

 color: #000000;
};

Hi Daniel,

It's because you're putting a semicolon after your closing brackets. You have this:

h1, h2{
  color: #ffffff;

};

p {
 color: #000000;
};

Take out the semicolons so that it looks like this:

h1, h2{
  color: #ffffff;

}

p {
 color: #000000;
}

And this task will pass, hope this has helped :)
