Setting the h1 theme color to green

I am having some trouble with setting the h1 color to green. Does it need to be within the h1 brackets?

index.html 
<body>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
<style>
    <h1>Rachel Williams</h1>
  {<h1>}

Hi Rachel,

Without giving you the exact answer this video will explain exactly how to do it.

The only difference is the colour and that you need to include everything in the video inside body tags for the challenge.

If you're still struggling just shout but hopefully that helps to point you in the right direction :)

Your styling needs to use CSS syntax within the style brackets. Like so: <style> h1 { color: green; } </style>

You'll use HTML markup syntax in the bulk of your document, but you need to use a different syntax inside the <style> part as you are actually using CSS there.
Hope that helps!
