Stuck on Challenge 2 of 2 on introduction to HTML and CSS.

I must be missing something for this challenge and have reviewed the videos in the lesson several times and still not getting it right. all the challenge is for is to change the color of the <h1> tag from white to purple. I feel silly for needing help on the first lesson but am totally new to this so any assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Trevor

Your css should just look like ''' h1 { color: purple; } ''' Keep working on it and it'll start being easier.

Hi Trevor

In the style.css file you just write:

h1 {
 color: purple; 
}

There's no need to feel silly, we've all been there, just keep going and you'll start to get the hang of it. Good luck!
