it's inline, so it will be <h1 style="color: green";>Nick Pettit</h1>

It's actually not set up as inline in the given code - not that it matters; it can be inline, in a script tag, or linked to using a stylesheet.

You want to use 'color: green;', though if you are looking for a specific shade, replace green with either hexadecimal or RGB codes. To get those codes, just google 'hexadecimal color picker' or something similar and you will find what you need.

You are doing a great job! However, you are missing the CSS code to set the h1 element to green. Hint :bulb:: There is a color property, and the code challenge wants you to set the value of that property to green.

Hope that helps!
