Change p tags to h1 first
h1 {
color: purple;
}
Then add your own css into the blank page. It's blank because the css to enter was so short and the html has only one element currently.

1,894 PointsI thought about it, not different than definition of change meaning to make something different. Should have said "create code within css to make color of h1 purple" I guess I'm in The wrong learning website.

In short--yes, the challenge is asking you to add code to the styles.css file to change the h1 heading to purple. "Change" means to change the color from the default (black) to purple. Don't get too hung up on the verb; you are "creating" CSS to "change" the color. It's as simple as that.
So, in step 2 of the challenge, click to edit styles.css, then add the brief bit of code to "change" the color to purple.
