How To Add Shapes & Colors

I don't think I messed up, I added the list items and it said I had too many and to remove them, I'm very confused, it seemed simple enough.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
<ol>
  <ul>
    <li> Stop </li>
    <li> Drop </li>
    <li> Roll </li>
  </ul>
</ol>

    <ul>
      <li> Shapes </li>
      <li> Colors </li>
    </ul>

Looks like you accidentally nested an unordered list inside your ordered list so the check work engine is getting stuck on it instead of the colors list. 

<ol>
  <ul>
    <li> Stop </li>
    <li> Drop </li>
    <li> Roll </li>
  </ul>
</ol>
