Tell us what’s happening:
Target the footer and the anchor element within to set the font color to a color of adequate contrast ratio.

Your code so far
footer {
background-color: #2a2a40;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}

footer a {
color: #ffffff;
}

@maiaf_w

footer {
background-color: #2a2a40;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}

footer a {
color: #ffffff;
}

What error do you get when you submit the challenge?

[maiaf_w]

I have tried using both ‘footer’ and ‘footer a’ as selectors, but still no luck.

[Cody_Biggs]

footer, and footer a should be one selector not two separate selector. have you tried using them both in one selector? If so what does it look like when you try that?

[maiaf_w]

I have tried that as well, but I’ll try it again.

[Cody_Biggs]

If it doesn’t work then you can poste your code here, and I can check whats going on. Using them as one selector should pass the challenge though

Same message as before.

I am only seeing footer a. I dont see just the footer. Look at your hint again

“you should use footer, footer a selector”

Have you tried typing it in the way the hint is telling you?

[maiaf_w]

Ah okay, I thought it was telling me to choose either or…but I will try that now.

[maiaf_w]

That worked! Thank you

[Cody_Biggs]

It would be both. the footer part is going to make the style changes to the footer, and footer a is going to make style changes to all anchor tags in the footer
