Treehouse TeacherHi there! I posted an answer which I removed as it wasn't entirely accurate. They do show you how to add CSS for a h1 tag, but they show you using a class. If you want to change the color of an h1 tag without using a class, it would be done this way:
h1 {
color: green;
}
I hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherHi, mohammed qadi! If you mean for the challenge at the end of this series, you'll find two tabs in the challenge. One is index.html and the other is styles.css. Your code should go in the styles.css tab.

251 PointsHi, changing colours is super easy.
<div class="my_container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</div>
.my_container h1{
color: black; /* or hexidecimal */
}
There are alternatives to doing this.
You can assign a id or class to the h1 directly & call it in the stylesheet or you can do direct styles to the h1 tag
<h1 style="color: #eee;">Hello world!</h1>
