title: Why doesn't background color on body work?
body: <p>When viewing the code below in my browser the background is white. The universal selector <code>*</code> has the <a href="https://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css_specificity_wars.html" rel="nofollow">lowest specificity</a>, and the <code>body</code> selector comes after the universal selector. Shouldn't it be grey?</p>
  
  <pre><code>* {
      background-color: white;
  }
  
  body {
      background-color: grey;
  }
  </code></pre>
