how do I make the class selector in one target red?

#3

Hi,
You are missing the full stop in front of your class selector. And the css is formatted incorrectly.

one {
class: rgb(255, 0, 0);
}

To target two or more classes at once, format it like this.

.cat, .ginger {
background-color: orange;
}

Put a comma after the first class, think of it like writing a list almost.

#4

I tried that in the first but I got a hint saying that it should no longer be .one

#5

this is what I’ve tried out but I’m still getting it wrong

.one, .class {
  background-color: red;
}
#6

The class you need to target is ‘red’. Not ‘class’.

It might help to read this w3schools page on css classes.
