Good day!

For a class to work, you need two parts:

You need to add the class tag and name of class to an element.

<h1 class="text-color">HI!!!</h1>

And then you need to place that class within the CSS like so (the class is indicated by the '.' period before the name of the actual class). 

.text-color {
    color: blue;
}

And there is actually a third part. Making sure your CSS is linked to the html sheet. Below is the link of a styles.css file located within a css folder.

<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet">

I hope this helps out. If more is needed, please provide more detail.
