CSS Selectors Quickstart Challenge Task 2 of 4

I put input[type = 'password'] { color : #ccc; } as the answer to challenge task 2 of 4, and it does target the right selector and shows that the text color of the password form changed, yet it's giving me an error.

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img[title='avatar'] {
  border-radius : 50%;
}

input[type = 'password'] {
    color : #ccc;
}

    </div>

Hi Samuel!

Having a space between the property name and the colon keeps it from passing, evidently.

This passes all the tasks:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img[title='avatar'] {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

input[type='password'] {
  color: #ccc;
}

input[type='submit'] {
  background-color: #52bab3;
}

input[type='reset'] {
  background-color: tomato;
}

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
