My research tells me that attributes of elements are case-insensitive but the checker on Treehouse may not be. Try changing the "Color" to just "color"

Happy Coding!

I think you're confusing attribute names (which are not case-sensitive) with attribute values (which are case sensitive).

Add "label" element outside "select" element.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
  <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
   <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">Purople</option>
     <option value="blue">Blue</option>
     <option value="green">Green</option>
     <option value="orange">Orange</option>
  </select>

</form>

It looks like you added your label inside the select element (where only option elements should be). Try placing it just above the select instead.

Also, ID names are case-sensitive; and it looks like you wrote "Color" (with a capital "C") instead of "color".
