Hi Nathan,

To change the h1 to the color purple you need to switch from your html file to the css file. Then you need to create a selector that targets the h1 tag and assign the color property to a value of purple. Please see the below code I used to pass this challenge:

/* YOU NEED TO TYPE THIS IN THE styles.css FILE  */

h1 {
  color: purple;
}

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
