Problem with the code challenge task 3 of 4. Add a label element to the select menu with the text"Shirt Color"

Hi, this is my code to the challenge. I added this code <label for="color">Shirt Color</label> after the select element. But it was marked wrong, and said that I need to add a label for the "color" select element.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
  <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
  <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
   <label for="color">Shirt Color</label>
    <option value="red">Red</option>
    <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
    <option value="purple">Purple</option>
    <option value="blue">Blue</option>
    <option value="green">Green</option>
    <option value="Orange">Orange</option>

  </select>
</form>

</body> </html>

Ok, the label should be before the opening select tag.
