unable to select radio button text for modification

In Stage 3 Advance Selectors the code input[type="radio"]: checked + label { color: blue; font-weight: bold; } does not seem to work. Any changes I make have no impact. Totally unresponsive. What am I missing?

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>UI Element States Pseudo-Classes</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
        <form>
            <label>Name:</label>
            <input type="text">
            <label>Phone:</label>
            <input type="text" disabled>
            <div>
                <input name="radio" id="radio1" type="radio"><label for="radio1">Option 1</label>
                <input name="radio" id="radio2" type="radio"><label for="radio2">Option 2</label>
            </div>
            <input type="submit" value="Submit">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>
style.css
/* Write your CSS code below */

:disabled {
  background-color: lightgray;
}
input[type="radio"]: checked + label {
  color: blue;
  font-weight: bold;
}

Might want to change the syntax on your css:

ex:

input.radio:checked ~ label {
    color: #777;
}
