Hi Edwin,

You have the right idea however there is a typo,

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">"Shirt Color:"</label>  /***Changed the "C" to lowercase "c" ****/
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>

      </select>
        </form>


  </body>

Also, keep an eye on where you're adding quotes. Garret's answer should get the code to verify, but the label might not appear quite how you want it to.
