hello everyone Instead of doing myHeading.style.color = myColor.value;
I tried to do declare let colour = myColor.value before the event listener and then using the "colour" variable in the event listener like this
myHeading.style.color = colour;
but nothing happens. Must the .value be inside the event listener function?

variable outside of the click
event listener. It doesn't work that way, because that runs immediately when the page loads, so the colour
variable will always hold an empty string. If you put the colour
variable inside the click
event listener, it should work since it will only get the value of the input when the button is clicked. Hope this helped!
