"Bummer! You need to add a label for the 'color' select element."

I'm feeling a little stuck here.

I am adding <label>Shirt Color:</label> after the opening select tag and I get this error.

I'm not sure what the error means because I am adding the label tags inside the select tags so is that different than adding it "for the color select element"? I may be missing an attribute?

Hi Charles!! In the label tag, you need to add attribute for to color and it should be like this

<label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
<select id="color" name="shirt_color">

    ...

</select>
