They are asking you to change the color of the h1 from the style sheet. You're html should look like this

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

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>

And your css should look like this

h1 {
color: purple;
}
