Nice! Finally, set the color of the h1 element to green. --- "The previous color is staying red when I delete the word red and replace it with green." (my snippet would not attach to this message, sorry)

Thanks

Hey, Barbara, You have included the "<>" tags in your selector. When targeting elements on the page, you don't include the tags. 

h1 {
  color: green
}

p {
  color: green
}

also, I just noticed I forgot to include the semi-colon at the end of my value!

h1 {
  color: green;
}
