Courses Plus Student 1,325 PointsI can not get the color of the h1 tag to change to purple despite creating a class containing a color within the CSS
Did I do something wrong in the structure of the class?
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="header">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
</body>
</html>
}
.header {
Color: purple;
}

.header {
color: purple;
}
Although, I personally would remove the header class from your HTML then do this:
h1 {
color: purple;
}

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 3,560 PointsTry removing the lonely curly bracket you have on top of the selector .header in your styles.css and the property doesn't have to begin with a capital letter.
