css vs htmi changing colors

It wants me to change a color of the text to purple using htmi; I was under the impression that you can only do that using css can you help me get some clarity on this so I can move on?

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

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>

Hiya Chris! Styling your web page can be done in many ways. Using external stylesheets is the most used way to style your web page and most recommended one as well. But there are other ways as well, like you could style your web page using <style> tags directly on your HTML. It'll override any style that exists for the same element or class or id in your external style sheet, right? There are other ways as well like you could do it via JavaScript as well. But using external stylesheets is the most recommended one. I hope it helped. (:
