There's not a question that asks you to change the a color from blue to green. In the color question you simply use the color property (not background-color) to set the text color to green.

h1{
 color: green;
}

Pretty straightforward. color is used for elements that involve text and you can use a few different methods to change the font's color to green such as hex (ex. #FFF) or rgb, hsl and so on..
