You don't really change the color of the heading, since there isn't anything in your heading. You could, if you had an object. But if you are trying to change the color of the h1 tag (<h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>)

That would be done, by adding this into your styles.css sheet

h1 { color: red; }

unless there is something else that you were looking for. :)

Hi, you cant change the heading color, you only can change the colors of elements. <h1> / <h2>/ <h3> .... <section> / <div>.....

You will need to open a css code to make this change.

Search for this course : "how-to-make-a-website". There you will see how this change is made.
