Select Menu Challenge task 3 of 4: Add a label element not working, unsure of where I'm going wrong

Add a label element to the select menu with the text "Shirt Color:"

Is it asking for something other than optgroup?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
        <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <optgroup label="Shirt Color:">
        <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>
        </optgroup>

      </select>
    </form>
