Change the color of the h1 tag to purple.

I have reviewed the video and can not seem to work out why my it will not change the text to purple.

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

    <h1 class="tag welcome"> Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
"tag welcome
  color: purple;

Try the following....

1 - change the class name of your <h1> tag to "welcome" (no spaces)

<h1 class="welcome">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

2 - Make sure you use the "." (period) before the tag name in CSS to select a class.

.welcome {
     color: purple;
}
