Your question is not very specific, but I can give you an example.

Say you wanted to select the header (h1) element in your sample HTML and make the text green:

style.css 
h1 { color: green; }

This is covered in several of the Treehouse courses.
And here are two good external references for selectors: W3Schools and MDN.
