You've got the right idea, but remember you always want to put your styles in the css file.

h1 { /* This is the css selector we use to target the h1 element. */
  color: purple; /* Here we're setting the color of the text to purple. In css we spell it 'color' with no u. */
}

Hopefully that puts you on the right track, happy coding! :)
