(Index code saved within a HTML folder that contains a css folder which also contains main.css)

CSS

body {
    text-align: center;
}

header {
    height:100px;
    background:black;
    width:100px;
}

CSS CODE which only works when I alter the body {} sections but when ever I attempt to mess with the header it does nothing I put multiple colors within the body{} code which all worked and filled out the page but nothing is working with the header files
