h1 change font to purple I have done all the tips and still get the same error.

I have removed the class from html. I have added the 'purple' reference instead of the hex code in the css and removed the font-color: prompt to simply colour: purple and still I am getting the same error whilst when I preview the <h1> does change colour. I don't know what else to try and want to move on, any ideas?

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

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

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

No need to make a new topic for the same problem. Just keep posting in the same thread you made before.

You still have h1 selected as if it was a class. Just delete the . in front of h1 in your CSS file. Good luck!
