Shouldn't the color be green ? Also have you surrounded your CSS rule with style tags like so :

<body>
<style>
h1{
text-align:center;
color:red;
}
</style>
<h1>blahblah</h1>
</body>

Hi Lester!

Here's the correct answer to the code challenge you're confused with:

<body>
    <style>

        h1 {
        color: green;
      }

    </style>
    <h1>Your Name Here.</h1>
</body>

Happy learning !
