Testing this, I was able to get it to apply the style if I added an [`!important`](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_important.asp) to the end of the declaration. This is necessary because the element you are trying to apply the custom style to has its background-color as an inline style, which has a higher [specificity](https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_specificity.asp) over styles applied by any other method - unless you use the `!important` rule.
