HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Create a Select Menu

Treehouse tells me that my task is no longer passing. HTML validator says there's no error.

Task 2 is creating options for different colors. Task 3 is creating an optgroup for the select menu. When I create the optgroup, Treehouse tells me that Task 2 is no longer passing. However, I can't find the mistake. Please help!

      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <optgroup label="ShirtColor">
          <option value="red">Red</option>

You only need to add a label even if your example would work as well

<label for="color">"ShirtColor</label>
