Put the selector before the declaration, like this:

h1 {
  color: green;
}

Inline CSS seems to make me forget some common practices too! :) Just like Kelly has stated before me, you just need to declare the CSS in a proper structure. Such as:

h1 {
color: green; }

  OR

h1 { 

   color: #008000;

}
