I don't understand what's wrong with this simple code.

The color of the element is specified, yet I keep getting a recheck my work message in the tutorial. I'm simply trying to turn the h1 element to green.

<body>

<style>{

<h1> "color: green;"</h1>

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

</body>

It should be something like this:

<html>
<head>

      <style>

      h1 {color:green;}

     </style>

</head>

<body>

           <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>

</body>

</html>
