  1. “We have div#div1ChildChild inside div#div1Child. Now, we have color: blue set on div1Child. div1Child will not inherit the color: red from div1; it will use its color: blue. This is called specificity. div#div1ChildChild will inherit the color blue from div#div1Child because it is its parent.”

    Is not blue color but green 🙂
