Hi,
That is not quite how you create a child theme 🙂
There are a lot of good tutorials out there – have you tried googling for some?

https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/wordpress-child-theme-tutorial
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-wordpress-child-theme-video/
Are you using something like this as a base?:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fifteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: twentyfifteen
Version: 1.0.0
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: twenty-fifteen-child
*/
For the template name try using the name of the folder of the parent theme.
For example Template: twentyfifteen is used because twentyfifteen is the name of the folder that the TwentyFifteen theme is in.
Also your Theme name should be different than the parent theme name.
Also SCBMLIGHTGRAY may be considered different than the lowercase version of this, so try it in lower case, if it is the name of the folder of the parent theme.
Thanks for responding, wpfan1000.
I found the problem.
I am using Underscores.me as a starter theme…and now understand that child themes cannot be used with Underscores.me.
Thanks again. I hope you have a great day (or night) 🙂

Oh, yeah, LOL, I used that theme as well all the time and it is awesome, just add all your css after the end of all the css in the existing style.css file.
Backup the original css file first just in case….
Glad you got it working
