You need to change the color of your h1 tag by using the following code

h1 {
  color: purple;
}

Hi Diana,

The syntax of the CSS rule you have written is correct, but the challenge explicitly asks for the h1 to be set to purple, but the CSS you have is setting the .intro class to white?
If you just change the CSS you have to match what the instructions are asking for, it will pass.
