How do you set a color on html?

I'm confused.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
h1 {
  color: blue;
}

Hello. :)

I assume you are talking about the second part of the challenge, which is changing the h1 element to the color purple. If so, you're going to need to change the property value in the CSS stylesheet named "styles.css".

Simply replace "blue" with "purple" shown below.

h1 {
  color: purple;
}
