You're pretty close. You just need to move the h1 outside of the brackets, like this: 

<style>
    h1{
      color: green;
    }
  </style>

You can then set multiple different things like color and size within the brackets. You'll learn more about that as you keep going!

Hi Jennifer. You're almost there! :)

      h1 {
      color: green;
    }

Your h1, which is the selector in CSS, actually goes before the curly brace.
