Tell us what’s happening:

I am totally at a loss with Step 18:
18. You should use the :checked pseudo-class on radio buttons to change the text color of the associated label when the option is selected.

I searched the forum and the web and tried everything and nothing works. Many people seem to have troubles with this step so maybe a special explanation or a hint would be good? I hope someone has some advice for me. Thanks.

you have written label and input like this

this

is not going to work for that. the + is a next sibling combinator, but your input and label are not siblings

there is a way to write the css so that it works for the way you have written the html, if you want to reserch for it
