it's suppose to be h1 { color: blue; } you gave a space after color.

I've checked the challenge, and found that color should be green, not blue.

The task from the code challenge: Nice! Finally, set the color of the h1 element to green.

So, the correct code is:

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

Hi Gianni!

Why do you think there shouldn't be spaces?
