I put the optgroup label tag but it's saying it's wrong.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML Forms</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.html" method="post">
<h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
<select id="color" name="shirt_color">
<optgroup label="Shirt Color">
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
<option value="purple">Purple</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
</form>
</body>

Delete the optgroup and add a <label> tag just before the <select> tag. Add the attribute for="color" to the <label> tag, so that it references the select group.
Then write "Shirt Color:" inside of the <label> tag, as the challenge asks to:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
<select id="color" name="shirt_color">
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
<option value="purple">Purple</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
