It says Task 2 is no longer passing, but code seems to work. What's wrong?

All i did was add a <optgroup> to the code. Nothing else changed, and when i press preview it works like it should. But still it wont let me pass this task, saying task 2 is no longer passing.

index.html 
<!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>

      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <optgroup label="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>
        </optgroup>
      </select>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

The challenge is asking to add a label element to the select menu with the text "Shirt Color:"

      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <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>
    </form>
