14,268 PointsThe label should be outside of the select element:
<label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
<select id="color" name="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>
</select>
