I think it is orange and may be the standard workspace syntax coloring for a method in javascript. It is not indicating there is an error. But you do have one. The string in your document.write method needs closing quotes after </h1>:

document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basis</h1>");

You are still missing a few things. I modified your code as follows

Before:

alert("Hello from Treehouse");
document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basis</h1);
document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basis</h1>
alert("Thanks for visiting)

After:

alert("Hello from Treehouse");
document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basis</h1>"); //added closing bracket and quote 
document.write("<h1>Welcome to JavaScript Basis</h1>") //added closing quote and parenthesis
alert("Thanks for visiting") //added closing quote
