CSS How to Make a Website Beginning HTML and CSS Write a CSS Selector and Property

I'm having trouble understanding the task of changing the h1 tag from blue to green? Do I write the same code below it?

I tried writing the h1 tag again using a CSS selector and then writing green for what color to change and use. I wrote this on the same line as the original h1 tag and CSS selector was written on. Then I tried writing the same code on different lines below the original h1 tag and CSS selector were written on.

index.html 
<body>
  <style>
    {
    h1 color: blue;   
    } 
  </style>
  <style>
    {
    h1 color: green;
    } 
  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Hi,

your syntax is wrong the h1 selector needs to be outside of the braces: 

h1 {
color: green;
}

You also don't need two separate style tags. You can put both in the same tag.

<style>
h1 {
color: blue;
}

h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
