change color

Change the color of the h1 tag to purple — you can do this by creating a h1 selector and setting the color property to purple.

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
    color: purple

It's good form to do your styling within the .css file, so while you can do it in HTML, I wont go into that here. In your css file, you'll want to type h1 to select the element, and then wrap your styling within two curly braces, as seen below. I hope this helps. Happy coding!

h1 {
  color: purple;
}
