I beleive you are using a ; instead of a :

try this

h1 { color: green; }

also the colon between the selector "h1" and the curly brace isn't needed

You need to have the css h1 selector with the "{" key and a closing "}" after adding a semi-colon ";" . Add </html> after the closing </body> tag. Their should not be a colon after the h1 (h1 { color: green;} ) )
