What am I missing?

I have watched the videos in this section more than a few times and I still can't seem to get the elements to turn blue

app.js 
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;


for (let i = 0; i < section.length; i += 1) {
  style.color = blue;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
            <p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
        </section>
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; 2016</p> 
        </footer>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

style.color = blue;

that is your problem. The style of what? just because the loop is based on the length of section does not mean that any style applies to it.
