Next to your "font-size: 72px", you should have a semi colon ";" and not a colon ":" That should change your h1 tag to white :)

It seems you have a colon after the value "72px". Try changing it to a semi-colon in order to close the statement.

```body { text-align: center; }

h1 { font-size: 72px; color: white; }

header { background-color: orange; }

p { font-size: 20px; } /```

This should do the trick.
