Styling the

---

element

I am trying to make my

---

(hr) element pinkish, and am using the following css rule for this:

hr {height: 1px; color: #ed1d61;background-color: #ed1d61;
}

But there is still a black line showing through it.

(here is a look at it on the site that I am making: http://www.yemon.org/ , its the only horizontal line in the design.

How do i get the line uniform pink?
