5,520 PointsCSS Help?
I am going through the Front End Web Development course and am currently on CSS Basics
I am on one of the Challenge Tasks, And am having some problems with descendant selectors.
It keeps saying "Bummer! Make sure you're using the 'color' property with the value 'slategrey'
I did that perfectly yet it is still saying that.
'''css .header span { font-size: 26px; }
.main-content p { font-weight: bold; }
.footer p { color: slategrey; }

Your trying to target an element that has a class of .footer. But that's not what it's looking for.
footer p {
color: slategray;
}
You're looking for a paragraph that's a child of a footer element.
As for the slategrey value I haven't tested for that but my attempt passed with the value of slategray rather than slategrey.
This should work for you :)
