Hey, the easiest way to color the H1 element in green, is to change "blue" to "green". Exactly like this:

h1 { color: green; }

But keep in mind that it's always better to use an external style sheet and link to it via the "link" element in your HTML document's head. For instance, you'd create a CSS file called main.css, and inside the main.css file, you'd specify the h1 CSS rule stated above. To link an external style sheet to your HTML file, use the "link" element like this (make sure it's in your <head></head> section):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main.css">

Hope I helped there!
