The video does not give enough information for me to write the css in order to change the color. styles.css is blank

I have code in the html section to work with, but css is blank. I did not get enough information from the video to know what all I need to write to change the color.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1 class="tag name">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
<h1 style="color:purple;">
</h1>

Hi Joshua,

The information you want is in the second video at about 2:15 seconds in. That's this video here: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/introduction-to-html-and-css/-getting-familiar-with-html-and-css/-building-web-pages-with-html-and-css

Because you're changing the color of an element, you'll just define that element rather than a class, but the video example should help you out.

Hint

h1{
    //do some stuff here
}

I hope that helps.
