Can you post the question?

Your answer will need to be along the lines of:

h1{
    color: green;
}

If you need a precise color you will use a hex value

The 'style' tag should be between the 'head' tags, also your style tag at the end should be closed - /style.

Your css is fine, it's the html that is the problem.

It doesn't seem to like what I enter. This discussion space looks like it needs a photo sharing tool.

Paste the code in here, use 3 tics on the line above and below to make it display like a code block. (the tics are the key to the left of the '1' key and not apostrophes).
