Adding Style to the Page Challenge

When I get to the last task in the challenge it tells me to change it to green and I do but it tells me I am wrong. I have tried getting it right and cannot figure it out. Please help me!

could you copy and past what your css looks like? it should look like this

  <style>
    h1 {
    color: green;
    }

  </style>

I passed the challenge now but I can't change the color on my workspace. I put in h1{color:green;}

I then look at a preview and it was still black.

hi Marta,

in css, "color" controls the color of the text. if you want to change the color of the background (e.g. a fill color) then you would use

background-color:

good luck!

It's also important to remember that when doing coding challenges, you'll need to hit the "refresh" button while you're in the preview window. I don't think any new changes show up until that refresh button is hit.
