Hey eric nguyen! Right now you have css written in your HTML file. What you want to do is create the h1 element in the body of your HTML doc like this:

<h1>This is a Header!</h1>

Then you can change the color in your styles.css file to any color you would like!

Hope this helps :D Let us know if you are still stuck. Keep up the great work!
