When you write a selector, you start with your html element.

h1 {

}

You then write your CSS in there.

h1 {
    color: green;
}

You can add other things to change the H1 too.

h1 {
    color: green;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: bold;
}

It would go in your css file (I believe it's called main.css ) and if I remember correctly it's supposed to be applied to either the body or the footer. So code in your css file would look like this...

body {
    color: green;
}

or

footer {
    color: green;
}
