Footer is not green

Ok...I know this is simple, but I've followed the video and added the flowing style to my footer tag and it's not displaying green. Any thoughts?

<head> <style> footer { color: green; } </style> </head>

Thank Nicholas. I did want the text to be green and it wasn't displaying green. I could have sworn I did this, but I need to refresh the browser, which I did then it turned green. I discovered after I sent the note. Sorry.

Hi Melissa, color: green is going to set the text inside of the footer green. I'm assuming you want the background to be green, in which case you'd use background-color: green.
