In the style.css file is where you write the code, since purple is the style of color you want the text.

So Go To style.css

  1. Then on your first line, select and write the h1 element tag. That's all.
  2. Then you will use the {} curly braces and write inside them.
  3. Lastly, you will use the property color and change the value to purple and end it with a ; semi-colon.

This is what it should look like:

h1
{color: purple;}
