Why this isn't working

What wrong with this code? this quiz says to Add a label element to the select

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>
      <label id="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>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

You are close but, you have an ID for the label when it should be a "for"

Looks like you have the id "color" for both the select and label element, which isn't valid HTML. Try <label for="color" .../> instead and see if that works.
