Changing color of h1 tag

Hi, I'm not sure how to change the color of the h1 tag. I'm not sure where to type purple.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href=purple rel=purple>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
h1 {
  color: blue;
}

Hi Takeiya. I think the problem is coming from the way you linked your stylesheet in the head of your html. You want it to look like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

The href value might be slightly different depending on the file path for your css sheet. for example, if your css sheet is inside a folder called "css" then you would have an href value like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">

Once you have the style sheet properly linked, the way you have your h1 property formatted in your styles.css sheet looks like it should work fine, you would just type purple where you have blue after the color. I hope this helps!
