When creating a CSS rule for a tag, the tag name should appear by itself (with no symbols around it), and the property names and value pairs that are to be applied will be enclosed in braces ("{}").

It's also good practice, even if not technically necessary, to end a property/value pair with a semicolon.

tagname {
    property: value;
}

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit code spoiler.

The correct code would be:

h1 {
    color: purple;
}
