  1. You don't have a header
  2. If you are trying to change the text color of your h1 tag then you forgot your semicolon
h1 {
  color: purple;
}

Actually, the semicolon is optional on the last property. But it is a "best practice" to always use it.

You're close.

But the challenge said to "Change the color of the h1 tag to purple.". And you wrote "header" instead of "h1".

Just change it to h1 and you will pass.
