Wrong:

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
  span .color {
    color: red;
  }
}

Correct:

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
  span.color {
    color: red;
  }
}

CodePudding user response：

You are telling Css to style a .color class that its inside a <span>

But in your html you have

<span >hey</span>

You need to change the css to

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {  
    span.color {
        color: red;
    }
}

OR change the HTML to:

<span> 
    <div > hey </div> 
</span>
