i’m stuck trying to figure out how to use the existing #menu selector to set the background color of the div element to be burlywood .

Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cafe Menu</title>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="menu">
      <main>
        <h1>CAMPER CAFE</h1>
        <p>Est. 2020</p>
        <section>
          <h2>Coffee</h2>
        </section>
      </main>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

/* file: styles.css */
body {
  /*
  background-color: burlywood;
  */
}

h1, h2, p {
  text-align: center;
}

/* User Editable Region */


 #menu  /*background-color: burleywood*/ <div>{width: 300px}


/* User Editable Region */

do not use html tags in the css file! look at the other css selectors and rules and try to reproduce that

Hello!

You have added a comment. Reset your code.
Then in your curly brackets, after your 300px add a semicolon. Then add ‘background-color’ with a colon then add your color.
Example:
h1 { height:70px; width:80px; background-color:blue; }
