"Task 2 is no longer passing". I have added the label and now this statement occurs.

I don't know if the label is placed in the right place, I had been trying to place it in the <select> section but was not working either.

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>

Thanks Rhys,

I see that I have overcomplicated some things :)
