How do you make the h1 tag green?

I have the following CSS code before the h1 tag (still in the body), but I keep getting errors: <style> h1 {color=green; } </style>

It looks like you have a syntax error. As Csaba said, try using a semi colon (:) instead of an equals, so it should look like this... h1 { color: green; }

Here is a combination that would also work.

External CSS h1 { color: green; }

Internal CSS - between the open and closing head tag < style > h1 { color:green; } < /style >

Inline css within html tags < h1 style="color:green;" > Text < /h1 >

Core HTML < h1 >< font color="green" > Text < /font >< /h1 >
