The color of the <h1> to purple?

Step 1. Target the HTML element. h1 { }

Step 2. Add the attribute and value

h1 { color: purple; }

You were on the right track!

h1 {
  color: purple;
}

Don't worry, all of this syntax gets explained in great detail in future videos.

Tianni,

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting. Such as writing css after the 3 backticks in this case.
