Not sure what to do

Instructions: Add a label element to the select menu with the text "Shirt Color:"

Error: You need to add a label for the 'color' select element.

As you can see in my code, I'm stuck on Task 3. I'm not sure exactly what it wants me to do, but I did try some stuff.

Thanks in Advance!

You almost have it. You just need to bind the label to the select element by it's id. Try:

<label for="color">Shirt Color</label>
