h5 style does not show color effect

Question

Below is small code snap. Though I have given color there it does not show. Underline and position is ok.

h5 {
  margin-left: 36%;
  color:#C0C0C0;
  text-decoration:underline;
}

Answer 1

If you use the web inspector tools in Chrome you will most likely see a more specific style that overrides your style.

For example:

body > h2 {
  color: green;
}

h2 {
  color: red;
}

A JSBin to demonstrate

Is how Chrome Tools would show it.
