Hey Moe! Looks like you're close, but just slightly confused on your syntax. The semicolon, or ';' should be at the end of your declaration, and a regular colon ':' should be in the middle.

I think what you're looking for is:

<style>
  h1 {
    color: green;
  }
</style>

Good luck! Hope this helps!

There are two mistakes in your code...

h1 {
    color; green
  }

There have to be a semicolon at the end of the line, and with setting a color you use a colon, not a semicolon. It should be like that:

h1 {
    color: green;
  }
