How do I change the h1 tag to purple

I am having difficulty trying to figure out on one of the 2nd tasks of the html of having to change over the property of color purple from an h1 tag.

Hi Sharon,

I don't have much to go on in terms of code but you're probably want something simple like this 

h1 {
   color: purple;
}

which targets very h1 on the document and changes the colour to purple.

But maybe your document has a particular h1 element it wants you to target which you could accomplish by targeting a h1 eleent with a particular id. 

h1#purple {
   color: purple;
}

In your CSS file, you select the element and set the style.

h1 {
     color: purple;
}
