Why is the label element not answering the question correctly?

<form action="index.html" method="post"> <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>

  <label for="shirt 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>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>    
   </select>

   </form>
index.html 
<!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>

      <label for="shirt color">Shirt Color:</label>
     <select id="color" name="shirt_color"> 



    <option value="red">Red</option>
