change color of h1 tag to purple

I used font tag inside h1 tag, but the editor didn't accept it. so i typed <h1 color=purple> Welcome to my web page</h1> but this was also rejected

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

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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
. normal{
  color :purple;

You are close:

  • change . normal to h1
  • don't forget the closing curly bracket

remove the dot from in front of the "h1" and it will pass!

This does not pass. The dot in front of "h1" needs to be removed.
