I'm going to have to check this, but I believe that the <style> tag should be in the <head> section, not the <body>. I'll confirm this once I check it out!

First, your <style> tag needs to either be in the head section of the html, or the style should be embedded in the tag, or most preferred way - it should be in an external stylesheet.

Anyhow, here's an example of the code you need to use if all in single page:

Please note that you also need to spell 'color' rather than 'colour'

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <style>
        h1{color: green;}  
      </style>
    </head>
    <body>
      <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
    </body>
  <html>
