It's telling me I need to add the text "Shirt Size:" to my label element, but I believe I have.

It specifically asked not to the label to anything specific.

<label>Shirt Size:</label>

    <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
    <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
    <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
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>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">

        <label>Shirt Size:</label>

        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
        <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
        <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">

        <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>
      </select>



      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hi, you have put your input and label inside the select instead of outside, try this:

      <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>
      </select>
      <label>Shirt Size:</label>
      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
