This should work. The problem is that you had the opening body tag inside the style tag.

<style>
        h1 { color: red; }
</style>
<body>
    <h1>Bryan Capps</h1>
</body>

In real development having the style tags above the body tags works, but I get an error for this exercise unless I put the style tags inside the body:

<body>
    <style>
        h1 { color: green; } 
    </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Keith, your code should look like this, for example:

<style>
 h1{
 color: green;
}
</style>

<h1>Some Header</h1>

is you CSS surrounded with style tags? Here is an example:

<style>
        /* write your CSS rules here */
</style>

Both style and h1 tags should go on the inside of the body tags.
