Step 3 of 3 errors

The first two steps are fine, but when going from blue to green it gives an error that it was incorrect.

index.html 
<body>
  <style>

    <h1> {
    color: green;
    }

  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

when your writing in style tags an your looking to select an element you can just do this.

<body>
  <style>

    h1 {
    color: green;
    }

  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

you were basicly creating a h1 tag in your style hope that helps :)

Hey Jay,

You almost got it. You don't use the angle brackets when writing a CSS selector. It's simply h1

See here -

h1 {
    color: green;
  }
