You will need to add a closing curly bracket towards the end of each of your css rules:

I would also do it like a block, it makes it a lot easier to read and debug :)

.color-change{ 
    background color: #82E0AA; 
    padding:5px;
}


 .section title{ 
     text-transform:uppercase;
 }

Thank you! I took a screen shot of the css and the html. I wrote the css that way but I am facing an issue.

.color-change{ background-color:#5DADE2; padding:5px; }

.section-title { text-transform:uppercase;

}
