h1 { font-size:90px; color; firebrick; }

Not color; but color: firebrick;

And you have unclosed style="background-color: orange; in body tag

Hi Arzija,

You made two mistakes.

  1. In line number 16 where you add body tag <body style="background-color; orange;> here you need to add : colon instead of ; semicolon after background-color. please check this example: background-color: orange;
  2. In line number 16 where you add body tag <body style="background-color: orange;> here you didn't close style tag You should write is as this <body style="background-color: orange;">

If you still don't understand please check this link i have done changes for you: https://codepen.io/MakhanSingh/pen/dKebMb
