Treehouse TeacherHi there, Mathilde Aubert! First, make sure you saved your changes. Then, if it still doesn't change, it probably means that your browser is loading in a cached (old) version of the CSS. Try holding down CTRL (if you're on Windows) or SHIFT (if you're on Mac) when you press the "refresh" button. This should cause the browser to do a "hard refresh", which will load the CSS again with your changes.
Hope this helps!

31 PointsI figure it out. When you type the word blue, make sure you remove the "#" before the word "blue".
Like this:
.tag { background-color: blue;
Not Like This:
.tag { background-color: #blue;
I hope that helps!
