how to change my h1 tag to purple when still on the HTML tab. I thought that could only be done by switching to CSS tab?

I am completing the challenge task for intro to HTML and CSS; but its asking me to change the color of my h1 tag without be being able to switch the tabs to CSS.I though this was where i should be able to change the color.

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

    <h1> purple </h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css

Hi Tifara,

In the style.css file, you need to write the CSS rule-set, which would be like so:

h1 {
color: purple;
}

Let me know if you still have any further questions.
