It shouldn't. You used a '=' that should have been a ':'

html, body {
background-color:#6363a9;
color:#FFFFFF; }

When switching from using html attributes in the markup of the page itself
to stylesheets, the notation can be a bit confusing , since you are used
to one thing and now have to use another.
Try validate your stylesheets at <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/> for
that validator will notify you of stuff like using '=' instead of ':'.

a tip is to always VALIDATE your code, whether it is CSS or HTML. You
can find validators (which will test your code to see if it is right) at
http://www.w3.org


Really you should check there first as this mistakes are really easy to
make, and very annoying!
