Hi, I cannot complete the task. what do you mean by: Nice! Finally, set the color of the h1 element to green.

<body> <style>

{  
  color:green;


}
<style>
<h1>Green</h1>

</body>

Your css code is correct, but you did not wrap the css code in a style element properly.

The style element needs to open and close like most other elements. 

<style>

body {
 background-color: white;
}

</style>

<!-- My css selector targets the body element below --> 

<body>
</body>

Leo's is a great answer and the proper one. I just went through the challenge and the following worked. Althrough, Leo's set is what you will want to do while creating any website.

           <body>
    <style>
      h1 {
        color: green;
      }
    </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
