20,597 Pointsyour code should look like this
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>```
I think your missing the style tag or misplacing it

10,868 PointsAre you putting a selector in front of your code? When you are writing your CSS you have to tell it what it is affecting ie: h1,h1,p,a... ex
here is an example
h1{ color:green; }
Tunde Adegoroye
20,597 PointsYou have to add the style sheet then write the element aka the selector and then the property with a semi colon like so <style> h1 { color:green; } </style>
This should be within the body tag

10,868 Pointscan you copy the question?

159 PointsFinally, set the color of the h1 element to green.
laurenpradella
159 Pointsand this is what I've got!
<body> <style> h1 { color:green; } <h1>Nick Pettit</h1> </body>
Kevin Naegele
10,868 Pointsthat looks correct. try removing the space between h1 and the {. but that is correct.
