I can't figure out how to set the 'color' property of h1 elements to 'purple' (without quotes) in css.

Can someone point me in the direction of a good resource as well?

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

Jennifer, I assume your CSS looks like the following:

h1 {
  color: "purple";
}

All that you have to do is remove those quotes around purple!

If you need further help, feel free to reach out! :)
