As given in the instructions "You can do this by clicking on the "styles.css" tab and changing the color property to purple." (where it currently says "blue").

However, it looks like you got a bit carried away on the making "h1" tags. You were only supposed to change the "p" tags, but you apparently also changed the "body" tags and part of the closing "html" tag (you should put those back).
