Treehouse TeacherHi there! Depending on your use case, you can change the color of an h1 tag using either a class selector as shown in the video or a type selector. Here's an example of both:
/* Class Selector */
.name {
color: green;
}
/* Type/Element Selector */
h1 {
color: green;
}
If you're keen to learn more about CSS selectors checkout our CSS Selectors Quickstart course.
I hope this helps!

251 PointsHi, changing colours is super easy.
<div class="my_container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</div>
.my_container h1{
color: black; /* or hexidecimal */
}
There are alternatives to doing this.
You can assign a id or class to the h1 directly & call it in the stylesheet or you can do direct styles to the h1 tag
<h1 style="color: #eee;">Hello world!</h1>
